A Shape In a Dream

In my dreams,
she is only a shape, 
she has no smell,
she has no face.

She is an idea,
she is not real,
the wanting, the need,
the terror I feel.

She is a demon,
that possesses me,
she is an angel,
leaving me incomplete.

Only through consciousness,
I manage escape,
from the vulnerability,
of a heart that could break.

She is the void,
only love can create,
my reason to be,
my romantic fate.
