Past Lovers

Damaging choices Circumstances of lust You loved me under false pretences This futile chasing of beauty mistaken for meaning Gone forever with the summer breeze These illusions, The touching of your skin, it doesn't mean a thing But it will always be the mind turning things around To create empty beauty to love, to fill the void of ennui But it shatters under scrutiny when we try to get closer, Try to breathe it in to reality It dissipates It disappears Each time So stay under the dome of imagination Never try to merge it with reality Love is a game You can't always win.
