Tears Of Illusion

Innocent I was

The day my fresh warm tears

Laced my cheeks

The day I felt my heart crack

As we parted ways

That never existed

My blurred vision

Still sought for it

The path that leads to you

East-West, North-South

I chased it here and there

My eyes opened

I stumbled by the mirage

Hurting my limbs and bones

I cried in agony

Seeking for console

From people ignorant of woes

With sealed lips

And drenched lashes

I forced my ears to hear

The magical voice

That my innocence bore

In its false hopeful sphere

Amongst the buzzing crowd

I still look here and there

Searching that joyous face

Cars go by, road runs high

Missing your precious trace

I still hope

To find that way

That leads me to the other

Where you stand by

Waving your hand

To greet me with a smile

The tears might run

And heart might stop

Knowing this is real

But my self knows now

To stop myself

Before we merge together

For I know it now

With every experience

Of hopeful deceit

Of illusion trapping the heart

My nails, thus, dig

My tender palms

Lessoning my art

I now smile with no way 'round

And toss to the other side

Hoping the pillow to gently cuddle

And softly wipe my eyes.
