MIRAGE
it was then when i finally saw you
taken, you'd flown away,
hit the breeze
i rubbed the sand from my eyes
as i blinked the hot tears back
as you stung like they did
and emotion slowly dripped
from the reservoirs
i saw you there
your image blurred
but i believed you'd remain
eternally, blaze furiously
while i sat there
quite obliviously
never embracing the reality
that you were only a mirage......
