Oh Sweet Illusion, Oh Simple Pretend

by Curing the Comon Cliche   May 21, 2008


Oh sweet illusion
Don't fail me now
I need to breathe
I just don't know how

Oh sweet illusion
Just one more shot
Make my heart believe
What my head can not

Oh sweet illusion
Whisper me her name
Let me slip away
Breathing without pain

Oh sweet illusion
I feel you ending
No more smiles
No more pretending

Oh sweet illusion
Don't leave me here
I need to smile
Or disappear

Oh sweet illusion
My best deception
Don't leave me here
Make this exception

Oh sweet illusion
Oh cheap parlor trick
Don't leave me so broken
Don't leave me so quick

Oh sweet illusion
Oh simple pretend
Don't make a sad poem
This can't be the end

Happiness is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality. ~Unknown

    this in my nickname, hoping my illusion might come true, even though it is probably an illusion he might even look at my nickname :p

    An illusion can sometimes be the only thing that keeps you standing in times of despair, when hope is all you got. Knowing this will pass, holding on to the illusion can be a way to make things easier, as long as it doesn't get obsessive
