Mirages

Mirages

Smiles fade
like roses wilt,
like leaves fall
in Autumn.
Tears dry
like rain falls,
like petals drop
off the stem.
Hearts break
like glass shatters,
like branches snap
in the wind.
Souls freeze
like wounds bleed,
like anger breeds,
anew.
Eyes close
like doors lock,
like time ticks
away.
Hands clasp
like locks close,
like eyes meet,
like forever.
