Glass house

by StandStill   Feb 28, 2008


I live in a house of glass
that's right
I have that much class

and the poeple the look
and they see through my glass
they read me like a book

and I am OK
because in my glass house
I can watch the day

and sometimes they joke
but always
my house protects me from their smoke

so I live in my glass bubble
and it protects me
from trouble

and you strolled along
with your dreamers eyes
and your hummed out song

and I let you in
told you my stories
and the glass protected us from sin

but one day
you decided to throw a stone
and then walk away

and you broke my beautiful glass house
and left me
timid like a mouse

but i grew
into a lion
I am something new

So thank you for breaking my glass
and breaking
through my past

You meant to hinder
but you really helped
and you burnt my misconceptions to tinder

So now I feel the cool air
on my skin
playing with my hair

It's too bad you didn't stay
I'm beautiful without my house
you should have never walked away

buttefly kisses and bear hugz to those of you who won't walk away every time my glass houses break

    You're a better poet than you let on in your profile. Your outlook of taking a negative and turning it into a positive is a trait we can all learn from.
