Invisible Threads
By Rooster
I'm an orphan in the abode that is my prison.
Fearing the darkness, I cling to my
blanket. My white knuckles
betraying me, not unlike our lost
love.
Sun shines and I can see the edge
of the yard and a momentary wave
from some uninterested passerby.
Yes, the mirrors I see do betray my
every glance, yet I smile while
seeing his running blood.
And, I am ok, me the orphan,
the one that can see.
For the Illusory separation,
is indeed for me.
