pretenses

I look at you

And see his face.

I hold your hand

But feel his embrace.

As you sneak into my bed,

I close my eyes to dream of him.

When I wake up to the sound of your breathing,

I close my eyes to dream again.

illumination and illusions

You are here

You are here

Covering my shadow,

Filling the gaps between my fingers,

Blinding my sight with your gaze,

Wiping away every trace of innocence,

Searching my soul for every emptiness,

As you try to forget who you once were.

You are here.

You are mine.

You are mine, my sunshine.
