Illusion In Distance

The distance was too much
The pain was too great
I had decided
To leave it up to fate
To let someone else decide
To let something else choose
I realized that
My only option is to lose
That feeling of love
This feeling of pain
Now I know
What has plagued my brain
To live in illusion
A fantasy fate
By the time I snapped
It was already too late
Back to reality
The horror filled real
No one to hold
No thing to feel
Its time to realize
What happened to me
I've lived in delusion
Because I felt free
Now I realize
There's nothing for me
