Leaving Love Behind

I am leaving love
Behind~

Your trickery 
Took 
The last little
Bit of it.

I have become
Brittle,
Dry like desert
Sand and wind

Patiently 
     Painting
          Pretty
               Patterns

Into illusions;
Magic mirages
Made of nebulous 
Daydreams,

Destined to disappear,
Leaving me
Lonely and lost
In despair.

It is sad when one person ruins another's dreams. Hopefully, thus tale will continue till the daydreamer successfully disentangles. Good happiness to you.
