De(il)lusion

Years pass and I am still here

in my little world

surrounded by these high walls

that I built myself

so as not to be deceived by an elusive glimmer of hope

to keep all sorts of illusions at bay

because basically it is what is revealed every time

an illusion ..

and we as always let ourselves be deceived

we naively think that this time it will be different

that this time there will be a happy ending

that this time we mean something to someone

but instantly everything vanishes and we return to reality

finding ourselves alone with the ashes of that passion

adding only other memories, other scars to our miserable existence.
