No More

In the shadows that fall
 the figure begins to disappear
at first, I thought it was you
 returning at last, to my side
but it was illusive delusions
 the lie within my eyes
 the imaginings of my mind
and after all this time
 I accept it, reluctantly
knowing within my heart
 you will not return again
and here,
 I will walk no more.
