irretrievable love

haunted faces taunt and lean
as I hide inside this case of glass
I never know what they all mean
the glares and snears while they all pass

my tears cascade on cheeks of white
yet my eyes are still so dry
I never ask if it was right
to let him love and lie

but now I sit in my hollow shell
trying to get free
regretting yet the day i fell
and the day he fell for me

he took my dreams to lock away
and keep them from the world
put me in this case to stay
to be forgotten forever more

and now I stand the same as then
watching life pass me by
sometimes people glance within
to watch the broken cry
