Blinded

by Complete Synch

I never saw it coming.

I never saw the blade.

I never saw the truth.

I was blinded.

By vengeance.

By hatred.

In the end.

It became be downfall.

Numb.

I was used to feeling numb.

Feeling nothing.

Feeling invincible.

But I felt it.

The blade buried to the hilt.

The hot searing pain.

I could hear.

Not the orders barked at me.

But the result of them.

Anguished cries.

Tormented screams.

I could even hear my own.

As I crumpled to the ground.

Black spots.

Danced in my vision.

Obscuring my view.

Of the fallen.

That surrounded me.

Now.

As the darkness claims me.

I finally see.

Vengeance. Hatred.

Clouded my judgement.

Hiding the truth.

In plain sight.

No longer numb.

No longer blinded.

I see.

I see myself not as a soldier.

But a mere distraction.

An expendable.

As I lie.

In crimson blood.

The lies and tales of deception.

They seep freely.

Through my wounds.

Freeing the truth.

Locked up deep inside.

This has been sitting on my desktop for quite awhile so I thought I'd post it since I got a good response from "Tear Stained".

Another freeverse thingy. Check it out if you want.
