Fool's Dream

You are deeply mistaken,
Yet you continue to assume.
The castles you built will be broken,
Your paradise will be consumed.

What will you do my dear friend,
when nothing around you remains,
when realization brings you to an end,
when they finally walk away?

They'll pretend they didn't notice,
The moisture in your eyes.
You'll gift yourself a loser's smile,
and tell yourself you're fine.

Eventually the night will embrace you
A little colder it will seem,
With glimpses of a fool's dream,
A paradise that wasnt meant to be.

He asked me “what’s wrong?”…I said “nothing” as he turned and walked away….. a silent tear fell down from my cheek and I whispered “everything”

does it strike a chord!!
