Looking through the glass

by Naerwen   Oct 27, 2006


Sitting, my hand on the glass, looking through to the family i threw away to be replaced with a bloody affliction, my red mark stains the crystal, a deep sense of emptiness overthrows all other emotion, and i am left with an uncertain melancholy, should it be so easy as to step through the barrier into the love i never had, or is this the wall protecting the fragile entity that i could destroy. Why do i find myself on this side, wondering was i ever on the other, watching the figures dance to the gay melodies of surrounding happiness, the unity of family. Is this deliberate loneliness, did i banish myself without the aid of secondary reason, did i do it to save myself from the invisible shackles that bind me to the everyday, or to spare kin the oblivious obscene. As time passes, and i remain infront on the glass, i see a teary distant face, reduced to cry infront of her siblings, then to look closer, to then realise this girl is me, and my family are unaware of me being there

    That others see not the figure standing before the glass, does not devalue thy existance. For 'tis oft that they who stand closest fail to see.
