Can't Be

Folder: 
closet boxes 2002

Wide awake and all alone

my reflection can't be seen

not happy, not despaired

but somewhere unhappy in between.



The dim light casts shadows

though mine can't be found

they all point and laugh

as I fall to the ground.



You stand so far off

and your touch can't be felt

this feeling now cold

when before I would melt.



Your eyes pierce my soul

but your thoughts can't be known

and if you are here

must I feel so alone.



Your voice says goodbye

that your heart can't be held

why bother to wonder

why this feels just like my hell.

Very well written, I enjoyed reading this one.

"Your eyes pierce my soul." Awesome line.

I would take unhappy outta the first stanza and leave it as between, it reads smoother,

i like the second stanza :)
and the third one isn't bad

but the rest kinda gets choppi but still good
