I'm just a loving fool it seems
With no chance of reaching dreams.
I live in a box of hazy glass
The others outside endlessly pass
I long to be out there with them
But realize my fate to stay locked in
I try to reach out but the glass holds fast
Against my vain attempts to grasp
Once in a while, the glass is clear
And it seems at last my desires are near
I reach out in hope and touch the clear place
But it clouds and again I am left in my space
Still, the others pass ceaselessly by
Chasing dreams, reaching goals, free to try
My box seems to shrink small about me
As I sit, defeated, unable to leave
No beginning
No end
No hope again soon
I'm stuck with no stars, no sun and no moon.

I'm here. Do you not see me. I'm here. Do you not hear the desperation in every word left unspoken. I'm here. Do you not feel my presence; worn and anxious and praying for you to call my name.

Emptiness
Emptiness surrounds. Loveless baron grounds. No arms wrapped tightly around. Nothing lost, nothing found. A desolate place. An isolated space. An emotionless face. A body covered in lace.
