Girl behind glass

Girl behind glass

Your heart is aching

As it pumps its blood

Circulating

Through

Vital organs

Growing cold

From being left alone

Too long

Unseen

You cry

And no one hears

Or if they do

They don’t understand you

Curious thing

Mother says

You make too much noise

And your needs and feelings

Are an inconvenience

Go away

Don’t bother me

With your strange ideas

And even stranger feelings

That make me hurt

Reminding me of failures

And buried wounds

I never dealt with

Fixed gaze of attention

Turned elsewhere

Frost on your soul

Trapped behind glass

Heart arrested

With longing all in vain

There is no where to turn

But deep inside
