We're at the edge
but you refuse to anticipate the fall,
You're still gripping onto something
that I cannot see.
You believe in it's power
it's ability to stay strong
but is that faith enough?
Time does not change your beliefs
your persistance never fades,
I watch you chasing something
but I'm not sure what it is.
Thunder can strike around us
but you only see the rainbow.
Why is it only me
that can see the damage thathas been created?
You refuse to uncover your eyes
still blindfolded in the past,
hope wraps itself around you
and you cling on to it.
desperately.
hopelessly.
Your world is full of colour
yet the lights come out of mine.
You reflect it towards me
but all I see is the black and white
of our situation
the reality
the future as I see it.
You're still in heaven
I can never reach you.
You refuse to let go,
won't allow yourself to see the truth,
the truth that we are broken
and that we ended many years ago.

I guess it could be said

that I will always be

Your sweet little delusion.
