i can't help but wonder
about our kindled fire;
about our light-
almost illuminated;
about the dazzling star in our night sky
that faded

Fade
Purplepetals Aug 2015
You'll never notice it
Until it's gone with the wind
You'll never need it
Until the ocean carries it away
You'll never want it
Until everything's blur
And you can no longer see it

Until it's too late

'Cause even the most gorgeous flowers,
Wither
Even your favorite scents
Gradually fade away
Neither a potion nor spell
Can make them stay
And you wont even be aware of it
Until you realize
There's nothing around you
Left to stay

make-believe
Purplepetals Aug 2015
You look at me
Like I'm the only girl you see
Your eyes tell me:
I'm the most beautiful creature
But now I see
That could never be
'Cause now you're leaving me
And there's nothing left of me

You took my breath away
And searched my soul;
Told me everything nice
And everything- lies.
You made me believe
Everything you were trying to deceive
But now I see
It was all a make-believe

Now you're letting me go
With nothing left of my soul
You act like it was nothing
While I stand here,
Still not understanding
I hope you're happy
That you had dragged me
Back into reality
Where faith, trust and pixie dust,
Never really existed

You took me for awhile
Into illusions and fantasies
You made me hope for more
I'm sorry
I didn't realize,
that was all
