Counterfeit Dreams.

A love turned to mist.

A fun turned mundane.
The first line is the title. Had a hard time deciding if I should name it that or reflect that. It's about exchanging hope/dream for a cheap one and it becoming plain, not real or enjoyable.

Pushed to the side.
Faded into a lifeless mist.
Presence is gone.
Do I even exist?
It really ***** being ignored while being in the presence of a conversation.

In my lack of excitement
In my lack of motivation
The sweet sounds of disaster have binded me in isolation
The demise of motion has paralyzed uplifting truth
****** by my own muse
Recently being single had felt like a curse because people around me are becoming couples. I'm just missing that feeling and need to calm down.

Just a few characters
And I feel like I know you.
I've had encounters before your beautiful eloquence.
And now I sit in poisonous pestilence.
Because I think love is in the air.
But love was never there.
Just being a hopeless romantic. Making scenarios and making poetry over someone else's work.

Brick by brick
I put up my wall
People peek and wonder what's wrong
They hand them over
One by one
Ignoring their cause
I look for foundation
There's none at all
Ultimately, being my own flaw
It's hard doing things alone, though things get done it's not always fun and sometimes finding fault in others is our own fault.

You're the poetry that became reality.

You make my sensories wild.
Couldn't think of a name, perhaps you can help me out. It's been a minute since I've written and I love them both separately yet together. Made them within 3 hours of each other!
