Stained Glass

You look through me

Hiding away

Away from the world

Away from me

You still see

Not much, but just enough

To know I'm there

And you can't run away

I feel translucent

Like stained glass

A slice of color in a dreary gray world

It makes me feel worthless

No price for a small hurt

A little collateral

To make yourself feel better

To help you run away

And turn your back on all that's important

All that matters

It makes me feel...

Like stained glass

A slice of light in a dreary gray world...
