Mirage


In dark rain
a solitary soul
flies on the edge
of silence,
cold waves of
rushing shadows
crash upon the shores

Pain is dripping
from a heart
whispering to the moon,
visions and reflections
are bleeding
fading into a starry mist

For every smile
I pay tenfold
with bitter tears,
life’s liquid pain
flowing through my veins,
punishing,
engulfing me

There is no happiness
only a mirage,
an illusion,
there is no love,
I’m chasing
a vision of something
that will never be

Empty moments
are standing still,
time is consuming
beautiful dreams
and wishes die
before they are born,
…nothingness
