Reflections of a Lonely Picture

I see you through the rain.
Watching as I float within my
greyed out world.
You, who has a rainbow
full of colour to surround
your smiling life,
Yet see it not.
I see reflections in your face,
of those emotions
you would hide
behind. In mirror image
to the water that surrounds
me. Both below and from above.
You stare.
And turn your head
as if to listen to the
falling rain that patters on the lake
and try to comprehend
my mired state.
Emotions swamp us both.
Yet I am fixed within
what I can not escape
so do not try.
I must remain.
Ensnared within this dreary frame I cannot pass.
But you.
You have the means to walk
or run away.
To fill your life with colour,
sound and light and boundless joy.
To you I would say, leave.
Open the door and take that needed step.
Begone.
The canvas of your life awaits.
