Locked inside this pane of glass
The world is just outside my grasp
No one seems to see me here
I’m lost forever, this I fear
Stuck inside, this isolation
There is no hope, for my salvation
For those that I have sinned against
This is how I’m recompensed
Kept hidden, though I know not where
The mirror reflects, my own despair

The nighttime sizzles
When skies turn into fire
During summer’s heat

I am but a piece, created from a strip of bark
Crumpled by your hands, smoothed out again
Your thoughts, played over and over
My essence lacks emotion, and yet, I
Am able to feel the passion that flows
From your fingertips, through the pen, to me
A single sheet of paper, waiting, watching
As you bring me to life with every stroke
With every sigh, with every bit of your soul.

I hear your voice, a whisper in the wind
Angelic, yet no words did you speak
Only my heart can feel you near
A gentle breeze, a subtle reminder
Like the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings
Gently floating through the flowers
Lavender, the scent, was heavenly
Our comfort, in this ill begotten world
