T h r o u g h the W i n d o w


She'd always demanded
For even m o r e
Than what she had
Nothing was enough
Her world had to be
P e r f e c t
(Though as everyone knows,
There's N O such thing)
So one day she f l o u n c e d through
Her beautiful house
("Beautiful" is an understatement)
That anyone could ever ask for
(Though she always asked for more)
A window caught her eye
It was plaindrabboring
She was appalleddisgustedhorrified
How could something like that
P o s s i b l y exist
In her beautiful home?
She p e e r e d through it
Oh, what a sight!
Everything she could p o s s i b l y ask for!
It was the P e r f e c t world
Better than the one
She saw in her d r e a m s
Everything she ever w a n t e d
Everything she could ever w a n t
gLiStEnEd with P e r f e c t i o n
She pushed o p e n the window
Had her dreams finally
C o m e t r u e?
(No.)
Disappointedannoyedupset
All she saw was their old
B o r i n g garden
She shut the window
Was she h a l l u c i n a t i n g?
Through the window
Again she saw that
Beautiful world
That tantalizing, alluring world
Like a P e r f e c t, shiny apple
That hung just o u t of reach
So real!
Yet non-existent
In all its P e r f e c t i o n
T h r o u g h the w i n d o w


Each day, she would
G r a v i t a t e
Back to it, like
A moth drawn to light.
Each day she would press
Her face against the glass
She couldn't sleep
Nothing in her dreams
Could s a t i s f y her any longer
Now that she had seen
That P e r f e c t world
T h r o u g h the w i n d o w


Every day, her d e s i r e to enter that world
G r e w all the more stronger
It wasn't good
To be so attracted to that window
And that world which would only cause her
Heartache
Yet, every time
She found herself on that corridor
"Just a l i t t l e peek!"
She'd f l e e to it
And gaze t h r o u g h the w i n d o w
Until her eyes glazed over.
It was an a d d i c t i o n.


One day
Like a n y o t h e r
She stared, and stared
If only, if only!
If only she could
m
e
l
t
Into the glass and join
This beautifulamazingwondrous world
If only, if only!
She pressed yet harder against the glass
Her eyes wide and bright
But l o s t
Lost to that world
L o s t.
She was overcome by her desires
It would be the only thing she would ever
Dream of again,
Think of again,
Wish for again,
If only she could have access to it!
She was completely l o s t now.


Perhaps she had pressed too hArD
Against the window
Because it started to o p e n

-----------------

She could see it!
Her P e r f e c t world,
It w o u l d now be hers!

-----------------

The windows were almost w i d e o p e n now.

------------------

She was coming!
It was embracing her
Welcoming her

------------------

And she f l u n g herself out
