Illusion of You
Illusion of you
By Michelle Morris

I put the illusion of you
On a pedestal
Our imaginary life
In a wishing well
All the secrets and lies
Hidden in graves
The dead can't speak
They tell no tales
But all that longing
Went nowhere
And all my wishes
Left me in despair
Because you moved on
When you walked away
Left me in tears
Destroyed in your wake
Why I still love you
Is quite the mystery
Because the pedestal tumbled
So spectacularly
The illusions vaporised
The heartache remained
Maybe I still love you
On another plane
