Imaginary Love Song

I kiss the disappearing image the apparition that is you my arms around a shadow something I can’t hold on to I hear the imaginary lyrics the love song that you sang of promises not tendered but I heard them just the same as I write the endless letters with invisible, hopeless ink professing one-sided feelings unstamped empty sheets the sun peaks through the window as another nightmare fades the only evidence remaining teardrops on a pillowcase
