from bone to soul

i stand alone
but i am not free
i never was
from the other one
who looks back at me
through the reflection
it builds a wall within
of fears and webs
scratching at the barrier
of my solitude
in shadows of sin
and pints of joy
it smiles
at the pain
it causes the bone
to chill and the soul
to whither
and all hope
but for a speck
of spirit
that I hold
thee
away
