Too often we realize the importance of people in our lives when they are gone. Of course, sometimes when they are gone, we realize their promises were cellophane and their truths were not quite what we once were sure they were. Ephiphanies come at the strangest moments, but once we have one, things are so clear. Rose, I liked this a lot. I can relate. Lydi**

That epiphany moment of realisation that the lover is untrue so elegant described. In Aussie we might say the 'penny dropped, he is just a dud'. That clever confirmation in the last line.

Sometimes dreams appear so real and desirable that I feel to sleep again if it is interrupted by some reasons.
Wonderful write,shalimarRose.
Could you fix the spelling of the title of the poem?
It is written,'Epiphony' at two places.

Both places where it is spelled with an "o" instead of an "a" are the title.. The site I moved it from did not have a header for the title like the cafe' does.... The poem is about having an epiphany and realizing someone is fake.. a phoney.. so in the title it is actually spelled epi (phoney) intentionally... Though I guess noone catches that.. I should have hyphenated it like I did in the original perhaps.. Thank you so much for your review.. shallimarRose
Too often we tread through life with our eyes closed until such said epiphany does finally wake us full tilt, they are all life lessons, and your poem reminds me of that, if we're lucky we soon realize those truths....
and I saw your truths
as nothing more than waxed mannequins
dressed in tissue paper dresses
and cellophane promises
Great read!

My pleasure, I meant to mention also, I love how you changed up epiphany in your title to read phony.. read moreMy pleasure, I meant to mention also, I love how you changed up epiphany in your title to read phony.... nice one.
It is when our eyes are opened, and our hearts are allowed to feel the reality of a situation that we have an epiphany as you speak of! I especially like your description of the waxed mannequins dressed in tissue paper dresses. The fake is so "real"! The ending is rather surprising as we realize then that it was but a dream, however this sudden realization often happens in real life when we imagine it is but a dream.

"it came to me in an epiphany
when I thought my mind was clear"
I feel that is when I hear the most.
"it came to me in a revelation
like that word on the tip of my tounge
the one I should have known
recognized"
I am really loving this It. You make it take a life.
Then I kept reading and you end your poem It came to me in a dream and when I opened my eyes you were gone.
Is the IT here the truth of what is really going on?
Wonderful read yet again. A puzzle for me to sort. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to reading your next work.
