[title] => The Life That Tried Once More (The Window, The Door, and the Fatal Book)

[hometext] => symbolistic: window is depression, the door is inhibition, the book is the life that i'm fated to have, just in case you wouldn't figure it out
[bodytext] => This window So fake and fragile Has been my prison guard for quite some time Kept me from reality Kept me from the world outside This window So placid and faceless Seems more than a simple window Conjuring this blinding mist Never letting me see or know What's really going on, So you see... Its not a window at all Its a door that blocks me From everyone and everything It shall remain as long as it pleases Until I've lost all touch It want to see the perish of me In turn: it remains shut No matter how hard I stare No matter how long I look I'm trapped in the Devil's Snare The fatal ending of my book He stays and reads to me With well expression, yet, silently I want to open the door If I could find the key If only, If only.... A sudden burst of flames! The dreadful book no longer remains. A crack; a splinter! The wood hits the floor The crack and shatter of glass! The window is no more The life that tried once more The old life that was no more [comments] => 1 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 31 [informant] => SmileSkinDeep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
