Midnight Mirage

Dreams drip slow, syrup on a cracked plate

City lights blinking, hearts start to pulsate

Every step feels heavy, shoes made of concrete

Voices in the alley hum a midnight heartbeat

It’s a midnight mirage, shadows in the glow

We’re chasing illusions, don’t know where they go

Midnight mirage, fade into the smoke

When the night dissolves, it leaves no trace, no joke

Lips taste electric, buzz of neon pink

Heart skips a tempo, pushes to the brink

Velvet whispers curl, wrapping like a scarf

Echoes of tomorrow—sharp, but cut in half

What’s real? What’s fake?

Can’t tell the ground from the lake

Dive deeper, wide awake

It’s a midnight mirage, shadows in the glow

We’re chasing illusions, don’t know where they go

Midnight mirage, fade into the smoke

When the night dissolves, it leaves no trace, no joke

Smoke rings dance, like a phantom’s ballet

Time’s a thief in a sequined display

Reach out, grab air, nothing to hold

The mirage disappears, the story retold
