Illusion

See, I never used to be such a fool Sensible by nature, seemingly perfect Putting my trust only where it belonged Deserving, understanding, same old thing Then for a short moment, you came Into my life, you threw my world upside down Like those who have fallen in love's trap will tell, I have made myself believe that you are The centre of my soul. For days and weeks and sleepless nights I wait for you to come to me When you leave me behind The things around me cease to exist I live solely for your purpose, my dear. When the poison begins to seep There's no turning back You knew everything and used me Only to throw me on the ground Like a lifeless object you've grown to take for granted To me you still held a piece of my soul The most vital part that keeps me breathing Taking no notice of the dangerous haze Covering my eyes, I slept In the night to keep you alive in my world I lost control of everything I had You were my addiction, my one and true Telling myself that no one can ever perceive What I endured, my fading soul Yet I still believed you loved me too To the sound of piercing colours, Your colour suddenly I see Around my neck, my heart, my entire being All the while expanding your rainstorm Choking more who have come to believe in you See, I never used to be such a fool But a part of me was missing And I led myself to believe, I believed the illusion of your wonderful hues Now it's left me with so much to lose
