Illusions of love

Our love, Was it all make believe, an empty dream?
Just illusions of what should have been?
Was nothing real or true in your whispers?
I was taken for a ride down fantasy road
on those nights of intense lovemaking

Held tight in your embrace while my heart raced
with the wind towards mysterious terrains

Falsely displayed joy between us, wisped away
Like soft cloud roads, painted by pastels mists
Where stardust trails were left by your caresses

Your smile dazzled me like rose colored glasses,
Your lips covered mine with your beautiful lies
Our love, oh what a lovely mirage it was!

A covenant of mystique formed by twilight rain
and sunshine in golden strands of warmth

I wiped the mist from the window of my heart
I can see clearly now, through my pain
This love we had, how could such beauty
Have been painted on a canvas so tainted!

Denise, very heartfelt and heartrending. Written with words from deep within your heart of a sad ending to what appeared as reciprocal love.
The writers pain is felt.

particular:

Your lips covered mine with your beautiful lies...
I wiped the mist from the window of my heart...

Such a heavy heart, filled with dispair and disappointment. Yet better days are just ahead...

Be always safe,
