Things that I cannot see
Are infinitely available to me,
And yet that which I do see
Are strangely unobtainable.
That which I see so clearly
And feel so dearly
Are nothing but merely
A fragile glass veil.
Covering all before my eyes
Sweetening all that I despise
And forcing me to covet a rare prize
That which I thought I had already held.
A mirror reflecting my dearest of dreams
A glass veil disguising what seems
Taking that which I hold to such high esteem
Only to shatter and reveal horrifying dross.
Become that menagerie of filth
And attempt to use as tilth
Yet watch it fail as it all becomes spilth
In the wasted efforts of yet another failure.
So cover my eyes oh mighty glass veil
And let me see not the brittle bones that fail.
In their tasks to uphold the world, I do hail,
That the mirrored veil of glass continues its merciless delusions.
