Chained Window

by Emmett Patrick Finnegan/Sag - Not entered

-Chained Window

Fog shrouded horizons hidden by the sea

I can't shake the sun from my eyes

My heart needs air to find its path, mine is frozen in time, frozen in motion

Time is tuned in, my life hangs in the balance, tuned out

Scorpio rising in Jupiter's moon, open the glass to touch the wind

The room is dark and full of regret, I can't see in, I can't get out

Curtains are drawn, the chord rings true, open days call to the night

Days are reaching for space within the moment

Life is adjusting the focus on the peripheral

Reflections of the light sadden my eyes

I awaken to the reality that I am locked within my frame

I can't grow, I can't escape

I can't open my hands to free the chains

Let me breathe, let me be free from these chained windows

Chained windows mean nothing



Emmett Patrick Finnegan

Reason for writing:

    I have been trying to cope with the fact that I am alone while I watch the one that I love be with someone else
I feel that I can't breathe that I am stuck in my own world and I can't open the windows to get air.  Although I can see outside I can't get out.
I write to help me cope with life, the world and to help me deal with missing the person I love and miss most.
