Delicious Lies

 ~

Charming words roll off your lips like honey

Delicious lies

My heart wants to hear them

But my mind says no

And my soul finally lets go

Foolish, irrational false hope

The worst kind of self-torture

In the light of day

I watched you

Once a bright, vivid rainbow

Fade to gray

With clear awareness

That you were an illusion all along

Like our love

Just smoke and mirrors

A half remembered

Fragment

Of an impossible dream
