I Don't Wanna Keep Believing in Illusions

I looked at you yesterday, and I said it wasn't enough,
because you passed by, and never said a word.
I saw you running today, and the world spun round,
next time I looked, you'd gone without a sound.

I'm starting to believe that you are just a dream,
but don't you remember, sir what you meant to me?

I'm tired of dreaming, of crying and screaming,
I can't keep up with my heart's broken pieces.
I'm tired of hoping, and all of my confusions...
I don't wanna keep believing in illusions.

What a beautifully written poem! "I'm tired of dreaming, of crying and screaming,
I can't keep up with my heart's broken pieces." I am in love with this line. This is such a great poem that can relate to about anyone. Well done.

very good
Very well written. I really enjoyed the imagery of someone that is there yet out of reach. Use of ryhme was really good. Doesn't sound too forced or awkward. Great job on this piece
