Once upon a yesterday
My regrets were banished
To the echoes of tomorrow
Fantasies of stolen desires
That awaken the shadows
Of my aching heart
Pain
For years I ran
To destinations anywhere
Searching for anyplace but here
Drowning in a cacophony
Of doubt and timidity
But now I’m standing
At the crossroad
Of my fractured fears
And demanding desires
Ready to adapt, to mutate
To dominate
Your betrayal has opened my eyes
I see the deceptive smiles and so many lies
Hear the hollow tinny of your laughter
The false Happily-Ever-Afters
And know your velvet touch covers a hard heart
That is so willing to tear me apart
Careless whispers
Feast on her confidence
Eat at her courage
Insignificant rumors
Become significant
Until she silences them
With the screams
Of her dreams
Please refrain
from jumping in
Splashing me with hate
and your unwanted debate
You’re not my source
I don’t need your discourse
Give me truths
Not pretty colored lies
I’m a mess
But I digress
This is overdue
And it’s about you
Not me
Don’t you see
I’m wide awake
Nothing is fake
But your reality
Is a fallacy
We’re an illusion
I’m done with this delusion
She grows bitter
Sitting in the shadows
In the garden of desire
Waiting to bloom
Some say I need a dose of reality
Sorry, I’m unavailable
Too lost and not looking for direction
I’m sliding off the map
Into imaginary adventures
Sailing into the unknown
Found focus reflected in dreams
Reality, don’t come looking for me
You’re right next to me
But I’m in solitude
My needs raw and nude
We’re so close
Yet so far apart
It tears at my heart
Can you feel me
Sense our separation
Our loves damnation
I’m slipping past
The invisible barrier
Into my chaotic mind
Going completely offline
Twilight is our time
Leave worries for dawn
At dusk our dreams
Spread and illuminate
You’re my stunning sunset
Become my sultry night
Fall into my darkness
I’ll catch your love and lust
His kisses promise
A tender, melting magic
It’s all an illusion
His hellos mean goodbye
It doesn’t matter
I urge him to show me
His teasing tricks
