The Illusion of Us
You wrapped me in your whispers,
But never meant your vow,
A fleeting kind of comfort,
A shadow of the now.
I was your sweet distraction,
A pause in your long game,
But deep down, you never saw
Me as more than a name.
I’m not perfect, I’m aware,
Yet I bared my heart wide,
Hoping you’d see a future,
But you turned the other side.
Did you know from the start
I was just a passing phase?
Leading me on like a puppet,
In a heartless, endless maze.
You played with my emotions,
While I craved something real,
But I was just your rebound,
A wound you’d never heal.
Now I’m left with the silence,
The weight of unfulfilled dreams,
A love that was just a flicker,
Lost in your broken schemes.
