An Illusion

A Mirage

Just like a mirage in the desert,

Nothing more than an illusion,

You've left me stranded alone.

Swirling in confusion,

Not understanding,

Your intentions.

Never clear,

Never,

Here.

Alyssa Musso

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
