Color Blind

Color Blind

My brothers, I used to spend time admiring the colors
Beautiful summers in suburbs, inspired by the wonders
I had stolen a gorgeous wife with long golden hair
In our home, the bonds of love were deeply woven there
We had a young daughter, with the fairest complexion
The happiest of families with relished affection
A fresh recruit at the detective academy
Enjoyed the job but didn't comprehend the full gravity

Doing my work, I stirred up trouble for thugs in the city
Brought up a case against flowing drugs, it was gritty
They reddened and threatened to cause damage in my house
Slit my daughter's throat and be savage with my spouse
I didn't pay any mind threats seemed like the empty kind
Now, I rarely find myself acting so very blind

One day after the settlement in the court room
Pulled into my driveway thinking I could thwart doom
Knew something was wrong as I opened the door
Noticed blood on the floor as I bolted and swore
In the kitchen I found my wife's neck split ear to ear
Fear appeared, took me over, they were clearly here
Burgundy had pooled and drained all across the tile
But where was my baby girl, had I lost the child?
I heard a gurgling sound emanate from the corner
My princess stabbed, the scene elevating my torture
I knelt looking into my daughter's bright teal eyes
My frantic screams did nothing to change fate, she still dies
I watch in wretched misery as her color drains
There's nothing that could ever create tougher pains
I scream aloud to the heavens and curse god
The almighty being above is fake, the worst fraud

With everything taken I bury myself in work
While thoughts of revenge brood and I know death still lurks
I'm capricious since I'm no longer feeling religious
When I find the bastards that did this with sickness
I'll be a witness to their suffering as I grimace
Vicious and malicious without any limits
I'll hammer rivets through them and cut till their skinless
With swiftness and mischief I'll sever all digits
Beat them witless in instants, it'll feel so delicious
And watch them cry like infants as I shatter their spirits
Slowly my uniform has become tattered and faded
The colors I used to love dearly are now the most hated
My true self destroyed, I feel as though I'm wearing a mask
Playing a part, vengeance is mine, no impairing my task
Learned no person in this world speaks with their true mouth
My whole life has changed and I'm taking a new route
Empty now, all I want is to avenge my family
It's the only option that can quench my agony

After months of effort I finally catch a lead
I'll have my opportunity to make these trash guys bleed
Following up, my partner spots the crooks in public
For their crimes, forget courts, they must now be punished
My partner has no idea of my true intentions
How I plan to gouge out eyes and cut up their tendons
As I approach the last of my colors turn black and white
They took my everything but I'm getting back tonight
