Smoke and Mirrors

Smoke and Mirrors
       By Tom Wilcox

Like smoke and mirrors,
She disappears;
Never knowing time or place.
When times get tough,
She's had enough;
Too much for her to face.

Hard to know,
When she will go;
Like a white cloud in the sky.
Does she see,
What it does to me;
Never even says goodbye.

Without a tear,
She'll reappear;
Knowing that I'll take her back.
I just don't know,
How she can go,
On jumping from the track.

Like smoke and mirrors,
She disappears;
What more can I say.
It saddens me,
Every time I see,
Her up and walk away.

Doesn't she know,
I love her so;
She brings me so much pain.
Can't she see,
What she does to me;
She's driving me insane.

Like smoke and mirrors,
She disappears,
But now we're finally through.
Goodbye my friend,
I can't depend,
I can't depend on you.
