Inspired by Gone with the Wind:
She lived in an illusion
A dream she created
And loved
And pursued
She had a passion
For the only thing
That wasn't real
She paid no heed
To her beautiful reality
To those who loved
And cherished her
But when she did
And her illusion
Faded and dimmed
And when she
Saw things as they were
There was nothing left
But ashes.
