Life can be challenging. We find ourselves in situations that we can’t see our way out of. Life can make us feel stuck. Like realizing someone you love just doesn’t love you, and still not knowing how to give up.

Illusion Magick
Hello from the ethers
So close but so far away
I cherish every sign
Wishing hopelessly in pain
Meet me halfway
Speak
So I know I’m not crazy
Speak
So I know you feel the same
I have no hope left to hold on to
And my sanity is at risk
There’s only chaos and confusion
And unanswered questions
And more painful lessons
Still praying you feel the same
I need my mind back
I need my life back
I live everyday, waiting for things to change
They never change
I waisted so much time
Life is passing me by
Still waiting for that day
It must come to an end
We will always be unknown lovers
My dear lover
Goodbye foreign friend
