Time of Illusions

More than ever has time deceived the concept of a hidden feeling

Yet the depths and mazes of my trapped love can't stop my layered heart from peeling

 

Letting my emotions get the best of me has always been my greatest fault

Only to find myself on the offensive end of another emotional assault

Vague assumptions of cause and effect has fueled my wild imagination

Escalating my raging love far past the point of infatuation

 

Forcing a lie to inhabit belief has never displayed a hopeful result

Of all the lies I've forced you to believe, getting over your was my worst insult

Righting a wrong seem the best option, but that's only a matter of personal perception

 

You've accepted what can't be changed with time, for time only leads to more deception

Once more i choose to speak my heart as if words would somehow be enough

Undiscovered meaning behind timeless tales, as useless as a big bad huff

 

Was i fooling myself when i claimed it was over, freeing myself of heartache

ill-advised actions foreshadowing my future, corrupting every decision i make

Lust is often a catalyst of pain, capable of altering a weak man's path

Love digs much deeper with torture in mind while fate enjoys a sickly good laugh

 

Life has a way of crippling the strong and finding reasons to punish the good

If effort alone was rewarded at the end, gold would be mine for doing all i could

Visions of us together cloud my judgement, leaving me with false hope for love

Even the strongest crumble to failure when defeat evolves from push to shove

 

Love has left me looking at you, never allowing me to look away

Or maybe its always been an illusion and its me that allows my eyes to stay

Never has an illusion tasted any sweeter as i watch our life together unfold

Giving up hope would be much easier if my heart didnt feel the need to be bold

Eventually the illusion will fade away and i'll have to face the reality of time

Realizing that dreams are where i belong when i want to believe that your heart is mine

 

Taking advice from my heart has never been good, my decisions have never been the best

Hearing what my heart has to say has led me to my decision to confess

After all the pleading and pouring of my heart, time has drifted my words to the sea

Now i stand here honest and weak with no illusions or lies to protect me

 

Time has failed me in every way, but i hope it will be more kind to you

I only ask that you see my love is honest and believe every word i say to be true

More than ever i believe now that you are more beautiful than life itself

Eternity will spend three life spands of time trying to comprehend what i felt
