Behind the glass

I did not leave 
I'm behind the glass
That you cannot see
And you cannot pass

I did not leave 
I'm still so near
But you cannot feel
And you cannot hear

I did not leave
I'm next to you
But you can't tell
And you walk right though

I did not leave
I chose to stay
Please don't think
That I went away

I'll wait for you
Just behind the glass
Until you see
And until you pass

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hayley, For a somber mood we hesitate, yet often share despite. Still a nice voice heard to stay in this far beyond write. -Richard
