Painful Mirage

You came in like a shooting star during noon Nothing could stop the law of attraction The strength of your presence lowered the walls Slowly I embraced the blessing of a friend Every step I risked my heart for pain Every breath was life I instilled The time I gave was a gift I could never return I fell asleep with the thought of companionship Only to arise alone with my chest dripping blood How does love speak so loud and still feel the silence? My vision has to be telling me a lie Because here you are with invisible hands My chest aches from the separation that the knife revealed My expression captures your emotions I reach out and my hands held hands with air You slowly began to fade My heart still connected to the blade Love was a mirage but the pain was real I guess my love was the cost of accepting an eternal pain
