Life is Magic

It's been a week since you were here last
When you showed up at my door
And I apologized for the person I was becoming
The person you never knew existed
The person I was before you
The person I'm turning into after
Because you made me believe in your magic
Life is magic
Death is magic
Love is magic
And I suspended my disbelief
Lowered my walls
And loved with everything I had in me
Unrestrained
For you
But everything wasn't enough
Everything couldn't keep you from vanishing
So now I'm left wondering
If I can ever give everything again
And if everything wasn't enough
When will I ever be
So the magic is fading
The smoke and mirrors revealed
You the magician have left
And your assistant forgotten
Awkwardly left behind
Sawed in half
Left to examine the wounds
To fully experience the pain
While you can continue on
Charming the crowd
Leaving them in awe
But now that I know the trick
The magic will never be the same again
