Playground of Lies

All an illusion
Empty words to pass the time
And fill the spaces emptied by wounds
Left bleeding too long and scarred too deep
Doesn't mean anything
Except for the fleeting moment
Of a smile in a flickering lifetime
That shapes itself in separating destinies
I can touch you though
I know you can't feel me
You let me touch you though
You know I know you can't feel me
Feeling her instead
But it's all in our heads
Just a game with no kneepads
Fall down and no one gets hurt
Because it's
All an illusion.
