Mirage

Life was a sad n lonely one way ride

Till I saw u -  driving right beside,

I had never imagined me going to confide

Leaving me ever so vulnerable with nothing to hide

It was all dark clouds that brought no rain

There was no end to the misery n pain,

N then like an angel of love u killed the mundane

N I felt reborn flamboyant with grace n élan

U gave me life and u gave me dreams

I made my shiny ride go all the way upstream

To picture us in a song painted in the sunny beam

Holding on to what turned out to be a mere fraudulent scheme

N then it appeared to me how hollow it was

All the words u had said-all the days that had passed,

I wanted a way out but I gave in to those phony flaws

I went on riding the mirage without turning back – no pause

Behold said my mind and my racing heart

Coz it all appeared so perfect right from the start,

I had to let go to save me from falling apart

I only hope I did right by choosing no heartache, rather just an empty depart!
