A Fragile Picture

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

I wonder how this happened
Cause I cannot see the end
And while I can't fully understand
Someone takes my hand
Takes my mind
Leads me away
And not astray

Takes me outside all the limits
I have always seen as boundless
Tells me it's the "absolute"
Or at least a part of it
And that where he originates
There sure is more in store

With words like these 
He's trying to buy me
And I like the price he pays
But on this walk down memory lane
I find a wrinkled paper

And while he says 
"Come on now, don't get lost"
I pick it up
As I was never one 
To heed a warning

And as I start to read the withered lines
The fragile picture shatters
And my guide reverts to ghost
Standing in blackness 
In front of broken glass
I wonder how this happened
