Illusion of Intrusion

Illusion of Intrusion

The illusion laced with confusion how, so many think they know, only too get lost in the hunt for the perception of ease. 
Please, the one that matters most.
Protect and hold your true feelings close, while taking another dose. 
Only to brag and boast, giving a toast to the night air, to stare. Wondering is anything ever fair. 
Yet, you find yourself still ready to declare sentiments, for those that are no longer there. 
Now, it's just an unsettling feeling of lust. Whispering those words, who do you trust? 
Denying the things that unfold, behold the things that have turned cold. This intrusion; this illusion of truth, that has left you bitter, with one night stands. Sadness falls, wasteful is the game. 
Shame, when there are more losers than winners. Leaving things the same way you arrived. 
Survived, when taking aim at ones heart, where all things start and shall remain. 
Encompassed by the wants and needs. 
Freed to take heed of all adversity, even when stricken with uncertainty. University of clarity, which has risen within view, to pursue that which is real. Instilling that which is faith, hate when there was doubt. Hope when there was pain. Love still remained, embedded within these veins.
