Beautiful Illusion
Flowers bloom on your lips
 But with no one to kiss they fade away
 Glistening dreams hover in your eyes
 But your tears wash them all away
 And love notes to you get lost on the way
 And your canvas will only be painted in grey
 
 Like a sunrise hidden by rain you wait
 For someone to stop and lower their umbrella
 Paper hearts taped to your back
 Go unnoticed 
 Love songs written for you
 Go unheard
 
 Harmonies float out of your mouth
 Getting lost in the distance
 And words written and rewritten
 Mean nothing 
 Without someone to read them
 The stronger the wind, the harder you fall
 And you won’t even take my hand
 
 Snowflakes land on your shoulders
 And then melt away
