MIRAGE
Count all my charges but how I got here, I know not.
It hides not the fact that I'm hurting a lot.
I clutch and whimper in despair
Have we been damaged beyond repair?
I lose my breath, I gasp for air.
Screaming on this space: "Life's not fair."
Each memory flashes back in a dash
Is it too late to say my actions were rash?
I glanced, I glared, I stared
fiercely at the clock like an injured bird
I close my eyes to take a breath,
I feel my insides burning to death.
I keep waiting, I keep longing,
Without you there's no belonging.
This place, this space all feels empty.
My sadness plays out in 3-D
What can I say?
It's been a long lonely night.
My tears have taken my sight.
Are you coming back?
'Cause I'm still dressed in black.
Waiting at where we used to be.
The space meant for you and me.
