Illusion

Precious Illusions
Day dreams and conversations on replay
Smiles and laughter

Why is it always on replay?
Conversations about faith, love, and loss
Man in the perpherial vision
Why can't it be real?

Maybe if I was perfect
Take the makeup off, put on sweats
wasn't neurotically screaming

Sweat poring, cold showers,
and a boring morning walk
Sounds of silence- resonate the thoughts

Still there.

Voices in my head, feelings of sickness.
Illusions are dangerous
I know-thanks

Classically, hung up
On that way you say my name
On smiles
That way you pay attention
On a little more than my body.

And the fortune cookie says,
Dear girl wake up!
And I listen, finally...
