Blind 

Dedicated To:  Jackie Hobson


I must've had the wool
Covering my eyes
To be so blind, and not realize
Who it is I really despise

Stagger about blindly
Pointing fingers, saying words
Beating you into the ground
As you just sat there and endured
Making not a sound

Close to you, he was
The man I despised
Hurting you he was
This man I wanted to kill

And now I see,
No longer blind,
Nor staggering,
Thanking the shot I was given
Shot of reality

It was not your fault
I hated him, and loved you so
Never wanted to see you crash and burn
Even though I fed the fire

I'm sorry sweet Jacqueline
For the pain I've inflicted
I never meant to make you cry
I never meant to burn you down
In trying to help, I went too far

Sweet maiden, who is so fair
All you ever did was care
Cursing you as I did
I truly deserve to be dead

Though I live, I promise you
with these words I'm showing you
I never meant
For a maiden fair as thee to cry
Please forgive me
For being so blind
