Rose Petal Blindfold

With this Rose petal blindfold

My image of you is so clear

The eyes that shine like diamonds

The smiles for only me to see

The parts of you only kept for me

The way I make you happy

Every time you leave me

Is another petal falling

Every time you hurt me

Is another petal wilting

With the Rose petal blindfold ripped away

My image of you becomes distorted

Your eyes won't look at me

Your smiles are only frowns

Your only part left for me is gone

Your sadness is the only thing I see

With every rose petal gone

One quick glance to realize

I was protecting myself from the truth of it all

How you really see me

Every time you leave me

Is another petal falling

Every time you hurt me

Is another petal wilting
