Mirage

I could still picture you
Late night, after school
You’d limp me to my door
You lived on in the cracks of your mother’s paws

Took the same train, at the same time every day
You held my hand in a platonic way
I used to find peace of my mind in your tall boyfriend
But we never said goodbye before the end

Some mirage on my way home
Deceived my eyes and showed a clone
I don’t know where you went, but I know you ain't coming back
The sobering truth runs up my back

Coulda sworn that was you standing there
With a baby bump and the wind in your hair
But you went skidding in that car
With a baby and your lover
Now you’re far from here
