living in a nightmare, XIX

illusion of a palmful of pills and confirmation clicks for the make-believe bliss
leave a mocking kiss on my delusional cheeks

smile for the lover's hiss because everybody sleeps
at the point the lies will blow out of your lips

then he stopped caring without an early notice
dry drawn hearts and unpaid fees

forever comes a long road, difficult to accomplish
if you are to stay, your soul's to be vanished.
