Invisible Box

Tell me what you think this is about

Trapped inside a dark invisible box,

silhouettes of smokey myst caresses my body,

I reach for you,

but my hands are stopped,

like a little green frog stuck on a windshield,

I reach for you,

but you don't even notice,

im ashamed to even look up,

utterly alone,

my head says "i need you so badly"

my heart says "look another way"

i don't even want to try,

single tears tickle there way down my cheek,

like tiny waterfalls of sadness,

as i fall too my knees,

my hands still reaching up,

for something hopeful,

you still don't notice me,

pondering in my lonely existance,

it seems years have gone by,

i finally remember who i am,

I looked another way,

and I see my way out of the dark entrapment,

my heart fills full for the first time,

until i catch your gaze,

this time,

without the invisible wall,

you stand closer to me,

until we are mirror images,

our only reflections are in each others eyes,

you smiled,

i didn't even blink,

in that second,

my decision was made,

and i smiled too,

you leaned in for a kiss,

but i walked away,

an you stood there confused,lonely, and sad,

inside a dark invisible box....

This really captures how i feel at the moment. Not knowing what to do. Your head saying one thing but your heart another. You give your all to one person but when you need them the most you know that the love is not returned.

touching--a hint of charm mixed with sadness.. but it was worth the read thank you

You have asked for the meaning of this based on a readers point of view so here goes...
I see it as someone loving someone else but the other person doesn't recognize or acknowledge that love.. the person who is in love feels invisible.. trapped and bound within that love. When they finally have the strength to beak free or go away... the other party finally notices.. but it is too little too late... a love lost and the shoe is now on the other fooot... so to speak. An emotional write...
