Delusion
I have touched your closeness,
Felt the warmth of your embrace,
Seen visions of your tenderness,
As I gazed upon your face.
I have felt your love for me,
It took away my pain,
And all the love I gave to you
Come back to me again.
I close my eyes to hold you,
While tears pour fourth in streams,
For I can only hold you
And touch you in my dreams.
My ghosts are back to taunt me,
As silently they scream:
“This is what you’re loving:
A forgotten, broken dream."
Abandon all such nonsense,
Let sleeping shadows lie
Release your false delusions
Let love within you die.”
