You Hold the Key

Illuminated numbers tell me the time is seven o’ three.

They speak the truth,

Fore it is around this time that I begin to think of thee.

The gentle wave of your hair is what starts this love affair.

 

My feelings for you are immense,

But they are an immense waste.

I would’ve spared myself--if only I had some common sense.

The brown of your eyes fill my mind, instead.

 

Rousing from the divine dream of us,

I awake to a nightmarish heartbreak.

In reality, there is no us.

Your easy laughter has me longing to return to Dreamland.

 

So easily, you lift the heavy lock from my heart.

And I struggle to reclaim the key,

Because now I’m grieving your depart.

You see, your smile is caused by someone other than me.

Nice piece, wonderful ending! Reality versus fantasy, a fun, and sometimes painful, dichotomy. Lovely write.
