First Post--"Blind and Bound"
A poem...thinking about making it into a song.
My hands are clean
But tied behind my back.
My eyes are wide open,
But covered with a cloth.
My heart is on my sleeve,
But I'm covering it with my coat.
I'll wait here, with clean, tied hands
And blindfolded eyes.
I cannot reach out to touch you
Nor warm you with my gaze,
So I hide my heart while you hide your soul.
I'll protect while you freeze,
I'll wait while you hide.
I'll wait as long as I can, blind and bound.
