Glass Between Us

I keep the lights low in the afternoon Let the shadows stretch across the room There’s a shape I know but can’t define Moving just behind my line of sight You speak like you're already gone Words land soft but they weigh a ton I trace the space your hands avoid Every silence fills the void We don’t break, we just bend apart Slow fracture through a quiet heart There’s glass between us now I see you, but I can’t reach through Every word just echoes back Like I’m talking to a ghost of you There’s glass between us now No sound, just the shape of truth We’re standing on opposite sides Of something we can’t undo You turn away before it shows The things we buried start to glow A flicker underneath your skin Like something trying to begin I hold my breath to hear it crack But you don’t let it answer back We don’t fall, we fade to gray Lose the edges day by day There’s glass between us now I see you, but I can’t break through Every look just bends the light Til I don’t know what’s false or true There’s glass between us now No heat, just a distant hue We’re standing on opposite sides Of something we never knew If I press my hands against it Would you feel it on your side? Or is this just reflection Of everything we tried? There’s glass between us now I see you like a fading view Every step just pulls us back Into something we outgrew There’s glass between us now No shatter, no clean breakthrough Just a quiet separation Where I lose the rest of you
