Such a simple thing, to fall
over your head beyond all reason
To lose one’s self in fantasy
so bright you cannot see the sky
Watch the world slide out of focus
never knowing you’ve lost sight
of what you fell for in the first place
Blind to the reality
you’ve long since left behind
Hands clasped so tight it still slips through
and soon too much time passes
and all you held so closely
lies broken at your feet
What you had and what you wanted
failed to find alignment
and instead of putting in the work
(if even just to walk away)
you stick to visions unrelenting
and let it pass you by
That moment, harsh and heartbreaking
you wake up to the illusions
and find yourself laid wanting
under the light of truth
