Delicate

DELICATE

Through the mists
And the cold
I can look out
Of my window
Over the grayness
That has fallen over my home.

The cold
Continues to creep in
Where has the sun disappeared to
Why have the clouds
Stolen all of the light
And left us here feeling all alone?

Why
Has this darkness taken over
Our world
Where is the love
The passion
That thrived here long before?

I look out my window
Staring out from the tallness
Of the prison of this tower
As if I can see the long
Distance memory
Of what the world once looked like.

I pull my cloak closer to me
Trying to feel warmth
Radiating
From anything
Anything
At all.

At times I swear
I can hear a voice
Whispering to me
Somehow hidden
Amongst
The cold breeze that blows.

It is the only thing
That helps me
To hold on to any hope
Of escaping this prison
Escaping this pain
And the lonely confinements of what used to be a home.

I sometimes feel as if
The world is just reacting
To the pain it feels from my sorrow
The emptiness of my soul
And that's why
Its constantly at war.

I know it may sound funny
That one could think and feel
Such foolish things
But think about the world
As a whole
And how delicate everything truly is.

Then think about how
One person's sadness flows from their body
Why can't the world feed off that
And if you have a multitude of people feeling alone
Then imagine the damage
That the pain of your own feelings can bring.

Imagine the horror
Of never getting
To feel love in your life
Just closing yourself off to the rest of the world
And watching yourself
Slowly die alone.

How delicate we are
When we look out our windows
And yet we do nothing
We could have someone
Standing right in front of us to love
And yet we do nothing.

Nothing
What a terrible thing that we have done
I feel trapped staring out my tower
Over seeing the lack of love in the world
And I too am guilty of feeding the world with sadness
But now I am ready to just feel something; something new to feel anything at all.
