A Magic Trance
Magical memories collect
yet fail to ignite passion's flame.
And painful shadows of regret
morph into nightmares seeking blame.
He simply left, deaf to your plea,
something your heart didn't expect.
For blind to what he couldn't see,
such feelings were hard to accept.
Sifting through the ashes of hate,
love falls victim to phantom fears.
And innocence bemoans its fate
amidst anguish and silent tears.
Blue velvet skies and wishful lies
attract a lonely, tortured soul.
But when fantasies end, love dies,
and broken hearts levy a toll.
Yet hope evokes a magic trance,
whereas past mistakes get erased.
And granting love another chance,
yesterday's players are replaced.
