Blind But Now I See

You finally did it

That veil you threw over my eyes

The one that blinded me

Kept me from seeing the real you

You finally tore it off

At first my eyes couldn't adjust

My heart-

My brain-

Battling for comprehension

Of what my eyes strained to see

Every aspect of your façade

Began to slowly fall away

Piece by piece it fell

As my eyes adjusted better

My brain

Won so many battles

That my heart hushed to a whisper

Finally silenced with

The last piece to fall away

That exposed you

The real you

The you you fail to see

Unobscured from my eyes

I have finally seen the light

Blind but now I see
