Illusions of You

I’ll look straight ahead

Illusions of You

Your words made me feel impenetrable,

But reality grounded me.

Hoping that you would build a space of peace,

But it withered away like an illusion.

I let my mind generate a view of you only I could see,

Envisioning the sky,

While you could only see the limit.

Next time,

I’ll look straight ahead,

Not inside the possibility.
