It was an illusion.
Something from the past that I could not
or would not forget
Your touch was strange and complex.
It held me,
imprisoning my soul.
I searched for the promise unspoken,
waiting for words that did not come.
Too late
Now the illusion is gone.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done
Saying goodbye to what I thought was the one
It tears my soul
But, I tell myself that the pain 
will help me move on
still, inside nothing feels right
I can’t say good bye to the one
that brought sunlight to night.
 

The nostalgia of “then” 
To my heart holds tight.
I loved you
 with my whole self,
you loved me
for only the night.
I went against all 
I knew to be true
I was a fool;
I was never more than “then”
to you.

It was only an illusion
From which I feel I will never be freed
Nothing will stop this haunting
By the ghosts of a fool’s 
Childish hopes and dreams
It was only an illusion
of a life never meant to be.
