The Man Behind the Glass

The man behind the glass

Scares me because I just don’t understand but…
Maybe you protect yourself this way
So that you don’t end up hurting
But it hurts me to deal with you
Always so strong, so stern, sometimes even harsh
What it is that draws me to you
I don’t even know
I couldn’t even begin to explain
And if I tried you would never understand
Why a place in your heart is all I truly seek after
Oftentimes I am on the verge of giving up
And just ending my quest for a piece of your love
Although I know you feel it too
I need you to stop being so afraid of getting hurt
Because it makes you shut me out
You close me off from the deepest parts of you
Which is where I desire to be
Day after day I attempt to break into that glass case
Where you keep your heart locked away
You just don’t understand
How badly I want to be there
Or how much I just want to hold you hand
But right now I just feel like giving up
Many months have passed
And I have yet to come close to touching
The man behind the glass
