Ballooning

Folder: 
Extended Metaphors

Reality was suspended just beyond reach.

But fantasy wafted

like a puff of cloudy illusion,

brushing my fingertips.



I floated on your inflated promises

(filled with vacillation)

watching as they continued to swell...



until...Pop!

You burst my bubble.



I should have realized

your words were empty, just hot air.
