illusions lead to delusions
the night skies were somber that night. the stars hid underneath a blanket of some left over clouds from when it rained. the street lights blurred upon my gaze, like small balls of fire from mario kart. a familiar wind rushed against my skin, i'd felt that before that night.

i was in a trance, lost in the mesmerising beauty of an image which was out of focus. it resembled my initial idea of you. out of focus. i tried my best to avoid the real you, because i knew that if i did, i'd cause my own apocalypse.

slowly, my mind moved the camera lens in the right direction. it was too dark to make out a clear image, but i knew that i needed to get the lines as sharp as possible.

you said, sunsets we'd wander through foreign towns. but i only find myself wandering through a sea of letters about lies disguised as promises.

each time you fall in love, you know that you'll destroy what you touch. but that's the reckless human being you are. blaming everyone else for your problems. you are the cause to your distress.

now, i'm a firefighter, trapped in a burning house. the fire is engulfing the picture we took at the wrong place and wrong time. i've never been happier to watch our love die.
