Mirage

A ray of hope,

The feeling of cold wind on a hot summer afternoon,

The smell of rain in moist soil.

The sight of water on a desert.

Whilst he meant everything good amidst the hassles of everyday life,

And made her days brighter,

Withered away all her worries and made her smile like a maniac.

The closer she went,

The farther he seemed.

She lifted her hand to hold him,

He disappeared,

She looked for him everywhere,

Only to realize,

He was the Mirage,

An illusion, that burst itself at the slightest errand,

Of everything she ever wanted,

Of everything she couldn't have!
