With the eyes of my world
I stare into the windows of yours.
And while I know of everything that happens,
I am merely an invisible spectator
for I am too wary of you.
I keep my distance and 
build my walls higher than you'd expect,
with my silence, my chatter, my friends
and other devious devices.
I am the ice princess 
and my walls are impenetrable.
And until I am ready,
which I doubt I ever will be, 
I will continue to keep you in sight
and hold still.
