There is no one to run to now,
the lights have dimmed,
I can’t see the stars anymore,
they have lost their comforting shine,
I need time to mourn the loss of what could have been,
I’m such a fool, I took a risk,
maybe I can learn to forgive myself but I can’t forget,
I wouldn’t trade an iota of this pain because at least then I can feel something
and not be numb,
where reality differs from imagination,
I must refrain from looking back at the past,
the magic diminishes and familiar places are tarnished,
we must start anew,
as the facade disintegrates,
I’m left with my small semblance of self,
I will cast the walls back up again and keep my heart in its cage,
run as far as you can from this tragic kaleidoscope,
get too close and you will get cut by the shattered pieces,
as time fleets, I will pick up my pieces and try my best to move on.
