impaired

As if blindfolded
and gagged I must
still try to touch you
deeply even outside
the world of these
words
Your silence in 
response is a 
condemnation and I
am damned to 
a parallel existence
almost undetected, where
I can look through
the glass but 
cannot share in 
the joy on the other side
