A Bitter-Sweet Phantasm
08262016

She was consumed by the mirage of happiness beyond her,
Not minding every ghosts behind the facade surrounding her
She courageously opens her palms to unravel possibilities that might develop
Devoured by the surreality of her blissful experience
Paralyzed her rationality and lived with the concept she once yearn
And became the person she once despise
It was like a whirlwind journey of emotional adventure
She felt the electrifying excitement in every inch of her nerves
It made her ignore the complexity of the route she’s taking
Aware that one day she will wake up from her enigmatic dream
And find herself in the middle of a cold, dark and misty wreathe of truth

Walking through a narrow and uncertain road
Guided only by the affirmation and glimpse of re-assurance of eternity
Fear as her only defence
She was left wandering in the midst of an ambiguous direction
Where her armour of Hope and Optimism
Is slowly weathered by the disappearance of light
Her thoughts disturbed by whispers of past confessions
Crippled by the idea of tomorrow she could no longer grasp
Every step she cautiously takes
Only leads her to an excruciating reality
That she has to live day after day

She struggles to breathe-out a tainted air that suffocates her throat
Trying to relinquish a heavy drop of tear that clogs her sight
Screamed the loudest silence even her shadow can't hear
Breakout from the walls that traps her which unable her to move
Wishing that tranquility would bring her peace
instead of a pinch from the arrow directly struck against her heart
That darkness would save her from the nostalgia that is playing on her head
But everything seems gruelling
Affecting her daily routine that she painstakingly conceal
Hoping that eventually she’ll live a non-pretentious life
Far away from the melancholic stage she repeatedly allow herself to go through
Finally end the charade that she has already mastered
That this time an awakening would hit her
And realize that this is all just her bitter-sweet phantasm.
