Glass House

by Unseen Exposure   Feb 27, 2005



These feelings run out of my head
And on to paper stained with blood
I try to recapture the words that fall
But they all so quickly seem to flood

I have so much I want to say to you
So much of my story has gone untold
But as I progress with my emotions
I become afraid of letting it all unfold

I feel like I'm inside of a glass house
Staring at the world as it passes me by
There's no doors or exits in my "home"
No one to hear me as I weep, and cry

I slide my broken body down my wall
And scream your name so hard and loud
"ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME
ARE YOU PROUD?!"

Tears bleed, and crawl, and seep out
I clench my eyes to hold them back
My heart beats like thunder in my chest
Almost mistaken for a heart attack

I swear that I can still breathe
But if you could just take my hand
Lead me away from this life of pain
And take me to "The Promise Land"

I'm falling back wards into my faded past
But you're not there to catch my fall
No supportive hands to stand me up
And keep my head hanging tall

Break through this glass house of mine
On your white horse, gallant and brave
I'm the girl you promised to help
And you're the angel that promised to save

I'm cradled inside of darkened hate
And pain that won't break for breath
I wait for this house to crumble in on me
I wait for my expected, hesitating death

And as this glass breaks into pieces
I feel the rain pounding in my heart
This is where my story ends, you see
It ends right back at the start.

^ hahahahaha. yeah. WHAT?!

    I really liked this. I especially admired the lines,
    "I slide my broken body down my wall
    And scream your name so hard and loud
    "ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME
    ARE YOU PROUD?!"
    Yes...I can definetly relate.
    you described the betrayl and abandonment so well throughout the piece, it displays the emotional depth that has taken place to have created such an impact on you. And the symbol of a glass house caving in on you was perfect. If I'm not mistaken, it's meant to symbolize a fragile entrapment ready to breakdown and destroy the beholder along with it...(?)
    if so, it fits the piece perfectly. Well done love
