Thanks for the illusion

By Neurosine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I thought I understood you, I only knew your name, unaccustomed to deception, I loved you when you came, and I love you even though you've gone so far away. Why do I burden myself with this pointless obsession? I think my illusion held all the posessions, I deeply loved you for. I imagined she died, and grieved so completely, every cell reacted, showed pain. You've gone away. Yet my dream girl remains, in my mind, stirring my heart, saddening my soul, maybe you're not one in the same, and she's still here within me, I've made the mistake of confusing you, with this wonderful thing. You've dissolved completely away, yet this wonderful person remains. But she can not be you, she couldn't treat me this way. She didn't lie, and didn't betray, and never traded away profoundly greater things, for material posessions. She sometimes went insane, but always found comfort with me, let it shine from somewhere, so lovely and deep, when she found her relief. Why did you pretend to be her. Imposter, you just wanted me, it's no flattery. I don't like what I've let you inject into me. Thanks for the illusion. Written January 27th, 2002 © on Jan 26 2002 04:37 PM PST, Neurosine    0 • 1
