Delusion

last night I couldn’t sleep at all
I had delusions that
you were in my arms
under starry skies and
cloudless nights, lunar
glow refracting life
laying still cause if I move
you’ll disappear like you
always seem to do
and I’ll be alone, 
yet once again, remembering
now and remembering then
restless slumber, fitful sleep
no dreams will come
that can fortify me
an apparition of the way 
it used to be, is not a comfort
it is not what I need
I hold on to the illusion
a vision of what could be
the delusion that you are in my arms
and all is as it should be
