I feel like and illusion
A mere fantasy of yours
Perhaps a mirage.
Something too good to touch
And when you do
I vanish.
I feel unreal
Like a mental image you fall in love with
Only to be left broken.
It would be simpler to just stop
I promise I do not mean
What I do
Or how I break you.
You promise not to be hurt
Not be be upset
Not to come to anger
But if I stood in your place
I would hate myself
I would curse my name under my breath
Wondering why you let fall
Just to see me smash my face on the floor.
The truth being
I fall
But I fall with caution
I let myself dream but never too high
It is like I fall
Chained
I fall
But thinking of how it will end.
So when you say I won't hurt you
All I can think of
Is how I feel like an illusion.
