Windowless World

I watched
A windowless world
Struggle
Burn
Suffer
Breathe to fight the forces of fear
So that windows could be built
Within wasted and wailing walls
Not knowing
That only breaking
Not building
Would do

See me and my pain they cried
Lay eyes on my hurt they pleaded
Just witness the weeping of my wounds they begged

And to the voices I wept back
I see you
Even with eyes closed
I see you
Even with miles separating our souls
I see you

But to see
You see
Is not enough
For In truth
For me
To be
And know your pain
I cannot just see
You or me I must feel
And seek
The collective we

The we that rises
From the shards of broken glass
Discarded with the thought
That there ever actually was
A you
An other
Anything but we
