Mirage

~ Mirage ~

 



What was it

that drew you to me that day?

I thought you a songbird

but you were a bird of prey

 

your words of grandeur

spoke to my core

you drew me in

with the promises you swore

 

I expected honor

but your words were hollow

still I didn't know

the deceit that would follow

 

when I asked you why

it came to an end

I may as well

have been talking to the wind

 

silence and scars

it's what we became

your plan executed

and you had no shame

 

it's why I lie

and self-sabotage

claiming I'm better alone

because love's a mirage

 

who means what they say?

it's why I cry

because I don't know how

to trust the next guy.
