Privation

Yearning your hands running through my body,
Exploring the map as its given to you.
Our destination is clear 
But your intentions are a blur.

Frigid night that withholds the affability of your embrace, 
While I sit under the dark skies awaiting consideration. 
I look from side to side attempting to locate the inner you
But in the process I encounter my biggest mistake.

To look for something that is not in existence anymore;
Running through a maze with paths that lead to nowhere. 
Idiotic of me to believe this was real;
Seeing through a mirage with aspiration as my weapon.
