MIRAGE

I open my eyes,

Found you smile,

Staring at me,

Love that shines.


Embrace in your arms,

The kiss that you plant,

My face lit up,

Turning in a shining star.


Cruelty of the reality,

Reality is the world,

Doesn't allow us to be,

Even in my imaginary world.


You fade away as they speak,

Brings me to the life,

When I don't feel your touch,

It stabs like a knife.


You leave, I am alone,

Alone with a broken soul,

Soul doesn't leave me alone,

If left, I'll be gone.


Reality hitting me hard,

Not stupid, I am smart,

To figure out you don't exist,

Just me thinking you out aloud.


Speaking from my mind,

Telling to open my eyes,

You are just a Mirage,

Which I created for me to hide.


Always running your side,

I never realized,

You are not even there,

Just me giving you life.............
