you watched me
disappear
like an escape artist-

you
never knew
what was coming

where did i go, you often wondered
and when
would i return?

i know you waited for quite some time
but even the greatest of illusions get old
and so one day,
you gave up waiting
all of the thrill was gone

it's only exciting to watch someone disappear
if they return


and i never did.
