Infatuation

Infatuation’s Illusion

Infatuation is an illusion an illusion of the mind and soul.
I can look into her beautiful green eyes and see my attraction.
I see we have many things in common, but she’s just an illusion.
What I see is what she wants me to see; I’m not really seeing her.

As much as I’d love to continue the daydream, I cannot be a moth to her flame.
I need to retreat into myself once again.
I cannot allow myself this indulgence I’m truly meant to walk this world alone.

No matter how much “pretty eyes” means to me,
I know it’s just infatuation a brief feeling of attraction that isn’t real.
No matter how much I feel, no matter how much guilt sits in my soul about walking away,
I know it’s right — infatuation isn’t good for me.

I need something based in reality, not fantasy.
I can’t be the moth to her flame.
