Memories at midnight

Called forth at that ungodly hour by a whisper tail of a lie that caught me  off guard. 

Washed over me anew  like a fresh spring cascading from a mountain cliff 

The hope that died a thousand deaths just died a thousand and one 

Sleep betrayed me with your essence winding around my senses 

Midnight ghost of a lover long left 

I still feel your hollow in my bed as if you'd always been there 

Even though the true warm of your body never rested upon it.

Just an undying whim 

A needy grab at the air of you 

And I shame to admit this heart has no standards

Because you are none of any thing good but so desperately pretty

My beautiful destruction for what I wish most, I'm most afraid to claim 

So, on with forgetting 

May it happen one day soon.

Intense! I hope your hope is born anew. I love.
