I close my eyes, hoping for peace:

Still oblivion to help me sleep,

I find none.

Vivid dreams burn my closed eyes

Nightmares, fears, doubts materialise

It all comes back.

Uncertainty shakes me, wish I were awake!

I cling to false faith or else might break.

Nothing is true.

Reality is the hardest thing to face

There's no perfect, it's all a mad race.

I miss you.

I feel I've lost you, but don't know for sure

The night threatens me, my heart's sore.

I ask, 'Why?'

It's my fault it's happening to me,

You know nothing! Life's biggest irony.

Who are you?

I adored you, I worshipped you.

I tried to hide it, but you more than knew.

You came to me.

It was so beautiful, I know you agree

But it was nothing. Nothing concrete.

Just fantasy.
