The Glass Between Us

As you stood there with your fists in the air,

Throwing your anger at me without a care.

Your voice disappeared into empty space,

No sound—just a raging face.

Your mouth kept moving, your fury grew,

But every motion told me more than words could do.

I watched you unravel on the other side,

While the glass held back everything you couldn’t hide.

No words could reach me,

But nothing was unclear.

It’s strange how silence shows you

What you were too afraid to hear.

The glass between us said enough,

I watched your anger call itself love.

I couldn’t hear you, but somehow

I understood you better without the sound.

The glass between us held the line,

Your shaking reflection beside mine.

No final scream, no final word—

Just the deepest truth I’d never heard.

You pointed at me like I carried the blame,

Like one more accusation could make me stay.

Every promise twisted across your lips,

Every apology losing its grip.

You wanted a fight, you wanted a scene,

You wanted to pull me back into the heat.

But I stood still while you came undone,

And for the first time, I didn’t run.

No words could reach me,

But nothing was unclear.

You can learn a lot about someone

When there’s nothing left to hear.

The glass between us said enough,

I watched your anger call itself love.

I couldn’t hear you, but somehow

I understood you better without the sound.

The glass between us held the line,

Your shaking reflection beside mine.

No final scream, no final word—

Just the deepest truth I’d never heard.

You struck the glass,

But it didn’t break.

You threw every shadow

You wanted me to take.

Then I saw my reflection

Standing calm inside the frame—

And I finally understood

I didn’t have to share your pain.

Keep shouting.

Keep reaching.

Keep blaming the air.

I’ve already left you—

I’m no longer there.

The glass between us said it all,

I watched the final illusion fall.

I couldn’t hear you, but somehow

I know exactly who you are now.

The glass between us held the line,

Until your reflection slipped out of mine.

No shattered heart, no final word—

Just the last hurt never heard.

Empty space.

A raging face.

Your fists still in the air.
