*I don't own Jane and the Dragon or its characters
This was inspired by a person I know with a sad disposition who I admire. Please enjoy
On a sea of white bedsheets lies the shadow of a person I used to know
I visit daily to make sure you don't disappear
Behind the glass eyes are a lingering warmth
A life
That still makes my heartbeat race
With skin as white as porcelain, you are still a knockout
Oh will you not say you love me anymore?
Have you really forgotten about me?
How nice it would be to kiss that soft cheek
Or hold your hands though they look like they would break from the touch
Oh the bemusing chatter of catapults and strategies
Used to doth flow from your lips
One day I couldn't see you anymore
Or those laughing eyes that hide behind glass
Emotions hidden in a bow
Scorn hidden in a laugh
Health as fragile as glass
Hidden behind glass windows
They forbade me for looking, for searching
If you are still breathing please call for me please
I know you are still there
I'm not afraid if you leave before I want you to
Just let me back in
Let me see you please
No, no, nothing but no
Still I can't escape the reality of your existence
I watched from the outside how your figure passes by, casting a shadow
Perhaps you were looking for me behind the glass
Or that I was looking for you
Holding a stone, I prepare myself for the darkness I'll soon have to have face
I'll prepare for metal bars and wooden doors that will soon become my friends
Even if if you're eyes don't shine anymore
Or if your hands don't hold warmth anymore
I'll come see you
But to get to you I need to break the wall
To break that window
And shatter that glass
