I'm not the right one


Maybe next time I’ll be the right one
The pages in my book are bleeding
My tears are rolling in the air
Salty crispy miseries
It tastes bitter

Gripping through your blind anonymous memories
Touching your face in my dreams
Illusions hurt like an unreciprocated greeting
Morning touches the sun
Blazing and burning
Like your empty gaze

It hurts to love someone like you
Too good to be true
All smokes and mirrors
I love you yesterday
It was all in the past
Mirrors aghast

I gotta let go
Losing strength and faith
Maybe next lifetime
I’ll be the right one for you
When I am able to wrap you around
With golden suture and diamond veil

But for now, I will love you from a distance
Through this glass
Of vain and vanity
Burning through eternity
