Blinded

The sun stole the daylight from her eyes He blinded her to reality Drove her to insanity His brilliance was meant to protect To heal to cure To banish ills To drive out demons that roamed the earth The Sun in all his glory Did that to her? Blinded by his sheer magnificence She stumbled in to darkness, His was a light so bright That it left her without sight Is it so ? They mocked her! Is it so, she asked herself Can something that is meant to protect Also take your life? or drive you blind? Who would believe her? Who could she take her plea to? They'd call her insane And counter blame. You are stupid! They'd say To play with fire To fly too close to the sun Which fool did inspire? So she went back into her cocoon Her shelter, never to return, never to falter She was scathed, her soul a cinder Her heart a hole, her mind a blender.
