Night's Tricks

by Keely Fiedorowicz

-----You call me beautiful and hold me tight 

Words splash on a glowing screen 

Late into the night 

You kiss me like I'm the reason you breathe

You hold my hand and smile down at me

It's like I'm all you can see

You touch me like I'm precious art

You say you miss me when we're apart

Affection glows in your beautiful eyes

There's no doubt in how you feel

What you feel is shockingly real

You hold me close and I can't help but smile

I haven't been this happy in a long while

You choose me again and again

You're a prince among mere men

Almost painfully bright moments

Light up my sky

An attraction that burns gorgeously bright

I feel like I could fly

You caress my hair, tell me I'm pretty

Kiss me with that mouth that's so charmingly witty

You treat me like a goddess among mere mortals

Every time we touch 

My heart escapes into paradise 

Through euphoria's portals

You're achingly beautiful and you're all mine

Then with a strangled gasp I open my eyes

-----With a shudder it all melts away

I'm reminded you left me

As night gives way to day

They were just dreams of what's now died

And I'm reminded of heartache

And bitter tears cried

6 years of singlehood then you came along

I should've known things would go wrong

I lost you and now all I have are memories

And they haunt my dreams 

Nothing is how it seems

It feels all too real as you hold me close

Gosh, I need you in a heavy dose

But you slipped through my fingers

And the heartache lingers

Why did you have to go?

That's all I want to know

I know your reasoning like the back of my hand

It haunts my mind every night

But I'm not sure how much more

I can stand

You're perfect and our time together was too

It's no wonder I dream of you

I just wish you dreamed of me too

-----Like the moon I smile sad and bright

As you haunt me every night

I made the image with AI.

For some reason, I was unable to use spaces between my stanzas. As a solution, I used 5 dashes before the start of each stanza.
