the glass box

and so i look out into the horizon
i see you face to face
i stretch out my hands
in a warm embrace.

it's like i can see you, but i can't feel you.
the glass box that i put around myself
i see you.
but i can't feel you.

the glass panel that comes between me and you
i look around
but i do not dare participate

the box is my sanctuary.
one devoid of all warmth and love.
all alone and cold.
