Catching my breath

Each moment gets longer

As you drift further and further into a memory

Someone I never came to experience fully

At least not the side I wished to see

And so that figure has now been eradicated

Relinquished into the caverns

Of things I only ponder in dreams

To be forgotten when morning arrives with a foggy head

Knowing Im longing but not knowing what for

It's like a novel constantly being edited

Rewriting every single flaw

Each event is condensed

Into one dramatic scene

With a moral placed at the end

Glaringly obvious yet hard to action

Its just advice granted but never taken


Reality is balanced

And I can't bare to live in that world

Where everything can be experienced at face value

Where the sight of you is no longer of misery

But of complacency

And losing the comfort of a fantasy

Looms with a promise of normalcy

There maybe is truly nothing special to be said about you

And by now I might agree that's true

Warm feeling of blush spreads across me

When I realise I have created a different you

You're not real

But a thing with flesh appears in front of me

As I stand lifelessly

Catching my breath
