Illusions Slip Away
November 17, 2010
To be or not to be?
They say that is the question
But there is no answer for me
I think last night
We decided collectively
No to be
We were all talking
And drinking
And walking
As if we could leave behind our world
A world full of silent pain
A world full of broken pasts
We walked all night
And for a while, we felt no pain
Everything was alright
i was half convinced we didn't exist
But with the first ray of sunlight
This illusion disappeared
Lost forever, gone away
Clawed at it, scratching for a grip
As simultaneously, we all watched it slip
Slip Away
