My Mistake

It’s completely dark And I have no use for my eyes But I know she’s here. I can smell her perfume. I can feel her presence, her touch. My heart lights a spark of love So that I may gasp at the beauty of my Angel The room comes alive. My eyes flicker in adjustment And I see! But where is she? She is nowhere to be seen. Not in front of me, nor behind. Not beside me, nor above. What I did was wrong and I know it now For I illegitimately placed all my trust in it, In a virtual dream, A dream that hurt so deeply. And not because she wasn’t real Nor for the fact that wanted to believe in it so much But, merely because I woke up.
