"Reality Of A Mirage"

"Reality Of A Mirage"

Off in the distance
The focus of my desire
Drawn to it
Like a moth to a fire
Lost in the desert
Oasis in view
Heart racing
With hope this one is true
Nothing but false
All of the recent ones
No more energy
Ready to be done
Mind over body
The need too strong
Praying as I crawl
This one won't be wrong
All motivation
Directed from my hope
Being drug again
Unwillingly pulled by a rope
Excitement grows
As I draw nearer
What a sight I see
As it gets clearer and clearer
Finally arriving
Fearlessly reaching out
Body vanquished
As truth was absolute doubt
Again a mirage
Body left for dead
Mind played tricks
As hope engulfed my head
Waste of energy
Brought to exhaustion
Never possible
To give head to caution
Alone in the desert
desert empty and bare
Starting to wonder
If it'll ever really be there
Lost and in need
Hope starting to fade
Would give anything
For that oasis and a little shade
Mirage after mirage
Hope and desire
Always being drawn
Like a moth to a fire
