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
