Immortal Memory - Illusion of Love

*~* In my heart, what I thought to be love Was simply my own desire So brief... Gone before time could tell it even happened Like a whisper Barely heard in the shadowy stillness of night I tell myself it's over, you're gone But in the same breath A voice whispers quietly to my heart Assuring me that perhaps You may have really cared I tell myself it wasn't meant to be But in my remembering... I find that thought elusive Too painfully conclusive It weaves its memory in and out Like a fine needle sewing its fragile threads Delicately twisting them intimately Amongst the filigrees of my mind The magic was so mysteriously enchanting I tell myself it's over... But my heart refuses to listen My mind says to forget you That no one's worth this kind of sadness My soul doesn't need this heartache I tell myself I didn't really care That it was all just a momentary illusion But... I never did lie very well *~*
