Real?

Real?

 

Last night I burned your picture

Still floating in my head

The realization hit me

We are not really dead

 

You can't kill what is not living

You can't stop what never started

The lies I told myself are over

Why am I still brokenhearted?

 

A better place was found

We did not have to choose

We both now have a future

We did not even lose

 

Felt like we were on the Titanic

In the luxury of life

When it started to sink, all I could think

I have to save my wife

 

With the water quickly rising

You felt like you were in a cage

I tried to hear but now it is clear

We are free and must turn life's page

 

It's all good and I'm moving forward

Like the beating of a clock

It's strange to think the boat did not sink

It never left the dock

 

Last night I burned your picture 

The one you were smiling still

Like everything else it went up in smoke

cause none of it was real.
