Contradictions

Another for dear mother.

I have become so distant

And if I reside

Behind walls of water

And thickened glass

 

I hear the voices

But can’t understand

I have the words

But cannot speak

 

I see these people

There are hundreds

They swarm around

Yet I am so alone

 

I see this girl

My one best friend

But can’t respond

To her joyous aura

 

The light is on

Glaring at me

But I feel as if

I’m in the dark

 

Warmth surrounds

Saving me from winter

But still I feel

I’m freezing to death

 

The softness of my pillow

Seems hard as stone

And the lightness of my stuffies

Has become a thousand pounds

 

I feel I am falling

When I’m solidly on the ground

That my heart is slowly

Even if it’s keeping pace

 

And all my hope is lost

And shattered on the ground

Until those cherished moments

When you come around

 

You I can answer

You I can respond to

But you’re the only thing

Bringing me to life

 

I am a lifeless puppet

And it seems that you

Are to forever be

My creative puppeteer

 

Because the wooden motions

Become so very real

When I am with you

I can forget my fear
