Glass Between Us

The words you wrote still bleed through walls
A truth dressed up in funeral calls
You left me framed inside the lie
But shadows never say goodbye

You touched my skin with frozen hands
But never cared to understand
I broke myself to let you in
Now every mirror burns my skin

You speak in screams behind your eyes
Where every promise slowly dies
I screamed your name into the smoke
But silence always chokes the hope

You hid behind your holy rage
Wrote love in blood across the cage

There's glass between us, cold and clear
I see you cry, but can't get near
I reach through walls that never fall
You never knew me, not at all

I danced beneath your sharpened lies
Wore guilt like silk across my spine
You smiled like saints before the burn
Then left me there no will to turn

You never loved, you just controlled
You kissed the wounds then made them cold
Now all I see is red and smoke
The chain you gave me finally broke

There's glass between us, cold and clear
I see you cry, but can't get near
I reach through walls that never fall
You never knew me, not at all

The room is quiet now, but stained
And still, your shadow speaks my name
I trace your face on broken glass
The pain remains, but you won't last
