A DeluisionA Poem by Shadin ManningThe love I have for you is pointless You have no idea who I am or what my name is I doubt you even know that I exist Even though I know this I still try to convince myself that you do know me I try to convince myself that you have the same love for me that I have for you I live in a distant fantasy and I fear it’s going to drive me to insanity Because every day I have to wake up to the cold reality that I’m nothing to you That if I’m lying in my death bed, it will not affect you Your life will remain consistent You won’t be there by my side, like how I dream You won’t be there to tell me that everything is going to be alright You won’t be there to tell me that I’m not alone Nothing will come from you Not even a tiny tear drop But yet I still find a way to think about you every day I still manage to pretend you’re with me when I’m alone at night I can still find it in me to say, I love you Even if I'm living in a delusion © 2011 Shadin Manning |
