Glass Box
Where are you? Why aren't you answering your phone?
Why cant you do what I ask? You are nothing without me!
You're cheating on me, aren't you? Baby, no I will never hit you again. Just stay, please.
My face burns like its a hundred degrees outside, but snow is falling already.
This ice is surrounding my heart.. I can't take this glass box you have put me in.
I need to break it. Where is my saving grace?
Glass comes shattering in all directions... My difference is in front of me..
But what is it or who is it? I tilt my head examining this woman feet in front of me.
I go to touch her and realize it isn't a new person.
It is a mirror hanging on a dark cement wall.
Looking in at myself, I see my savior staring back at me.
I hold the key.
I am finally free.
