Break

i count my breaths
staring at the wall
pointlessly reaching
for something thats not there

a million lights
that light up the room
dimming over time

through the glass that was once transparent
raised against its will
forlorn and helpless

and you stare at me
from the glass
i dont know how long

how long is soon
how long is now
how long is forever

until the autumn dust settles
and we see even clearer than before
restlessly looking for the long-gone sun
that protected our thoughts once

until the glass finally breaks
