Illusion

A poem about the longing for a genuine connect, and the pure disappointment when it falls through.

By Aliana Le FleurPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Already you're gone

But were you ever really here

I knew it wouldn't last long

Still I ignored that fear

You tore down the walls

That I had built around my heart

Down, down they fall

And now I'm falling apart

Was any of it real?

Answer me, it's a simple question

You never told me how you feel

Not once did you mention

So what, I can read minds now?

Come on, tell me what's wrong

I really wish I knew how

To tell if it was an illusion all along
