Lovely poems, everyone

I wrote these last night when I wasn't in the best of moods... I started out wanting to write a whole poem just about Stevie, but other stuff started coming out. So they're not fully about Stevie, but they're completely inspired by her.

I’m in love with an illusion
Lost forever in the past
And I try to carve reality
Out of something that cannot last
Laughter around me suffocates
So I look up toward a star
It comforts me for quite some time
But to them I’m just bizarre
The star, it shines so brightly
But not all can see its glow
And soon it slowly slips away
And they will never know
They will never know the beauty
That this star can show us all
So they tear at my dreams,
Or so it seems
Have I created my own fall?
And now I, too, begin my journey
Fade away out to sea
Illusions dissolved,
No problems resolved
This is how it will be.

My love lies in a time machine
Trapped by happenstance
Peering through abandoned windows
I hope to catch a glance
Though vision blurred and crippled,
I manage to paint a dream
I cling with all my strength and hope,
But fantasies are not what they seem
Imagination eats away
Reality’s harder every day.
