Heartbreak Mirage

Glass on the floor, reflections all shattered,

Memories stick, like syrup on a platter.

Phone buzzing silent, the ghost of a chatter,

Told myself it’s nothing, but nothing’s what mattered.

It’s a heartbreak mirage, can’t tell what’s real,

Running through the sand, chasing what I feel.

Heartbreak mirage, love slipping away,

Catch me in the smoke, drowning in the gray.

Eyes bloodshot, dreams lost in the haze,

Shadows on my walls, playin’ wicked charades.

Every breath’s a gamble, nights turn to days,

Your name in my throat, sharp as a blade.

What’s the cost of love? A soul or a scar?

Drifting farther, but you’re still the North Star.

It’s a heartbreak mirage, can’t tell what’s real,

Running through the sand, chasing what I feel.

Heartbreak mirage, love slipping away,

Catch me in the smoke, drowning in the gray.

Pulse in my chest, but it’s ticking off-beat,

Your shadow’s a ghost that I can’t delete.

The lies tasted sweet, now they rot on repeat,

The fire you lit, left me burned in defeat.
