(Untitled 1)

I got the idea for this one after listening to the song "Through the Glass", by StoneSour - I write it down on a notecard as soon as I got home, then typed it up and posted it on MySpace the next day.

I'd watch them pass, the happy people
Blissfully unaware of my existance
They'd look, but see themselves
The wrong side of this two-sided mirror

She saw me
Separated by fate, she saw through
Beauty itself saw through my cage
I was entranced, helpless

She said she loved me, and like a fool, I believed
Believed we would find a way through the glass
Believed that it would work

Fate is fickle, I reminded myself
He arrived, and, like a pet in a cage
I was forgotten

I beat at the glass until my palms bled
Screamed until I was hoarse
I was powerless, I watched her slip away

I placed my hands in my pockets
To stop the bleeding
There was something there that hadn't been before
a silver key, a way out

Hoping, I grabbed it, crying tears of joy
Then in disgust, I threw it away

The lock was on the wrong side
