Magician

Tell me something real
Give me something I can feel
Because this doesn't cut it anymore. 

These tears trekking down my face
Here so often, commonplace
The raven now deathly still. 

In the armor is a crack
In the mail, a chink in the back
Pure treasure assuredly blundered. 

Sweet words like codeine
Illusions mesmerizing 
Only to realize the final mistake. 

It was all realized far too late.
