Fantasy Deceptions

I guess you all can figure out that I really like poetry, so I guess I'll stop mentioning in each post that it's a poem. Enjoy.

I don't know how long it took

For me

To realize

That my fantasies

Are only the hopes

That tie me down to this earth

That allow me to dream and wish

The Impossible

But let me tell you this

As fake

As unrealistic

As foolish 

As they are

They are my only comfort and joy

In my ongoing sorrows

There may come a point

When I may no longer care

And no longer dream

And no longer imagine

And no longer create

And that will be the day

I detach myself

From my fantasies

From my hopes

In my ongoing sorrows

And that will be the day

I let my hopes 

And dreams

And wishes

And imaginations

Disappear from my heart

From my brain

From my soul

The day

I drown in my ongoing sorrows

For that will be the day

They take over me 

And leave me

With no hope
