Mirage

Ties like delicate threads,

They dance out of your fingertips

They

Pull

You

Closer,

Closer,

Closer,

To that cloud that

Always

Wavers

Out of your touch

It’s so close-

So close from leaving

Your line

Of

Sight.

Even though you chase it,

Day after day

After day.

After day.

Even though your refuse

To

Let

Go

Of your breaking strings,

Even though you pursued it,

Like a child,

Like a family in denial.

Even though they tell you

To

Let

Go

Before you

Get

Left

Behind.

Even though they

Tell you

Of the

Pain

You’ll

Feel.

Even though it’s just a mirage

Just a mirage

Just a mirage

Just a mirage

Even though.

Even then.

Even now.
