Illusion


Dont turn off the light,
Dont want to leave you tonight,
These tears of rage
May stream down my face.
I dont want to remember
the long dark december.
As long as your with me
I can take on anything.
When the music is playing
Cant help remember that blissful feeling.
The world may turn away
but not Your love.
Everytime I hold You, You disappear,
How could I forget, You’re not really here!!!



About 7 years ago, on a random drinking night with George - we were talking about some of the things I used to attempt to write (don't think they were any good). I was boasting that I could write about anything - of course a bit intoxicated. Being in that state of mind, I told him I would write something about alcohol. A year later I wrote the above. It is actually written to alcohol (personified) & sadly not a girl. It was actually written after it had enlightened me that, unlike the popular consensus, people who drink when they are sad or depressed are actually full of shit.
So in a way, this is an ode to alcohol.

Sadly, I dont think many believed me - they think it was simply just about a girl.

Perception! People see and believe only what they choose to (even when everything they need is right in front of them)
