Silk and Taffeta

I am watched

[They're waiting.
Watching.
Waiting.]

By silver eyes

[Feral eyes.
Wolf eyes,
in my mind.]

My life...
it's made up of silk,
taffeta, sparkling diamonds.

[So shallow.
So... insignificant.]

I stretch my fingers towards
light...
I dream of unicorns

[Galloping,
galloping.]

And magic.
and...

[It sets me free.]

But those silver eyes

[Those hard,
metal eyes]

Restrain me.
Hold me back.
I can't touch the light.

[I'm being pulled back]

And those dreams

[Those silver lined dreams]

Are washed away,
into an ocean -
by a metaphorical ocean.

[They're slipping through my fingers.
Away...
Away...
I'm back behind bars.]

Metaphorical ones, of course.

Back to silk.

Back to taffeta.

Author notes

Er... this is all I could squeeze out of my mind at the moment. I have no idea what it means.
