Window

Do you see it there?

It caught my eye like a snare.

I look through the window and see

Someone looking back at me.

I look into their eyes.

I can see through their disguise.

I see their fear

That has them frozen like a deer.

I see their frustration

Destroying their foundation.

I see their despair

Pushing them down the stair.

I see their defeat

That has them lying down in the street.

I see their pain

Holding them down like a chain.

I can see they feel how I feel.

Maybe we could help each other heal.

If only it wasn't an illusion,

And I didn't live in seclusion.

The window is nothing but a mirror

Bringing my feelings nearer.
