Rumble slowly through my mind
Forgotten thoughts now touched on
Behind a wall, no longer confined

Reality infused with fantasy
A sickening little twist
My fondest wish, my hearts desire
Enshrouded in a heavy mist

I once thought I could have it all
Now I realize it was all just smoke and mirrors
What a fool I was to believe
Alone, I face my deepest fears

The past is ever lost
The future never clear
Destination unknown, engulfed in smoke
What will the mirror reflect when I get there?

Smoke and Mirrors

Contributed by Tanna on Monday, 10th February 2003 @ 01:00:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

The distant sounds of thunder
Rumble slowly through my mind
Forgotten thoughts now touched on
Behind a wall, no longer confined

Reality infused with fantasy
A sickening little twist
My fondest wish, my hearts desire
Enshrouded in a heavy mist

I once thought I could have it all
Now I realize it was all just smoke and mirrors
What a fool I was to believe
Alone, I face my deepest fears

The past is ever lost
The future never clear
Destination unknown, engulfed in smoke
What will the mirror reflect when I get there?
