THE GLASS BOX

Jeweled colours sparkled in the misty grains of the glass

Their beauty was overwhelming, yet it wasn't meant to be

For only I could see them, appreciate them, love them

As the only person who could view their beauty was me


I put my hands on the sun-heated panes

The warmth warming my once chilled spine

I see my lover standing there, beautiful

His hands on mine, our fingers intertwine


In reality,

His back is turned, hands by his side

Forgotten promises

Unforgotten lies


I have no remorse, just a broken heart

Thoughts pushed aside, leaving me in pieces

Burnt-out lungs, dying heart

My body burning, turning to ashes


The weight of the world weighs me down

With the loss of my rock

I am separate, trapped

Trapped in a glass box
