Portal of Glass

Someone is looking at me

Through a portal of glass

A silver shiny realm identical to mine

I don’t understand the look on her face

It is mystified and strange

Like she almost recognizes me

But not quite

I relate with her

She is trapped there

As I am trapped here

We both long for the other side

She starts to cry and I feel bad for her

I reach out to her

And she meets my hand

Our fingers are only an inch away

But we still can’t reach

It is sad but not surprising

The barrier seems to mock us

I see her get angry and I see what she is about to do

I raise my hand to warn her to stop

Her image shatters as her fist breaks the portal of glass  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

By the way, the portal of glass is a mirror and i'm looking at myself in it. apparently it wasn't as obvious as i thought.
sometimes i feel like i'm not connected to myself, like i am someone else completely
