illusions


i miss you so
but i have to let you go
lest you got so tangled up
with the mess i call my life.

i'm just a fool
tried so hard to fit the role
futilely grasping straws
of what's real-of what's true.

fell in love with a dream
it's not real so it seems
wishing wouldn't deem it be
just have to face reality.

caught a glimpse
on my reflection
glimpsed a ghost of a smile
and a strangely haunting glance
stopped my tracks
for awhile.

am i really being fair?
let go! that's all that's left somehow
hide within yourself again
before you inflict him with more pain.
