Smoke and Mirrors

by Kyle

You stand in front of me,
Pretending to be solid,
But you are nothing
More than smoke and mirrors
You said you would never leave
That you would care for us forever
But now you claim you cannot stay
That you’ve been called away
When you go, who will I turn to?
When it all crashes down?
Tell me who
Then tell me how
I can’t believe in anyone again
If all your promises have been lies.
