Old Habits

I live
in the illusion,
dearer than
my thousand truths
But deep inside,
tells me a voice,
There is no substance
To back this lie.

I have been seeing things
The way my heart willed to.
Shutting the truth out,
Hoping for a miracle,
out of blue.

 Pent up breath,
The ache,
at the base of the heart,
Tentative smile,
Sadly, but, a practiced art.

Frayed belief,
forlorn hope.
Something, but,
still sparks in my heart.
Don’t they say,
old habits die hard
