PERFECT ILLUSION

Why do you keep smiling at me,

Each time I close my eyes?

Pictures of you flash across my mind.

My eyelids drift to slumber,

But your face haunts my very lucid life.

Curly soft hair flowing in serenity with the wind.

Those blue glassy eyes piercing through the dark,

And into my own soul.

Those dimpled cheeks,

That perfectly crooked smile.

Do you mock me?

Why smile when all I feel is a heavy,

lonely deep feeling weighing on my sad soul?

Don't you know you are an illusion I can't grasp in real life?

Smile at me no longer.

Frown so that I won't fall for you so intensely so.

Don't look so angelic,

so I won't love you.

Adopt a devilish grin, I plead of thee.

Though it only makes you insanely magnetic.

Would you stop haunting my dreams?

I want to forget about you.

I want to believe love doesn't exist.

I want to wither, shrivel and die all by myself.

Because I see you from afar, and I want you.

Yet I know for real you are nothing a stranger.

A passerby and I am just a girl staring from the woods.

Wishing you could just look my way.

Hoping you could just notice me, noticing you.
