Dying Illusion

I was there I saw it all I witnessed your Illusion crawl It begged; it bade It licked my heel It was convincing your hopes To make me real My heart cried When I saw it die It shattered and fell I watched it lie Lying is deceitful But purrs like a cat It makes perceptions skewed Then glues them like that What now I ask I’m left with despair Seeing you again Means she’s not there She’s gone That girl you knew She’s just another woman Who can’t measure up to you Relationships change So now you can see I’m not as great As you’d made me out to be My masks are gone I won’t play the game Scattered on the floor Your illusion of me is all that remains Written by Trudy Schrader on 1-16-07
