Apparition.

At twilight I saw you
sitting at the edge of my bed,
your crystal blue eyes twinkling in the moonlight.

I sat up as you called my name,
And spoke to me,
your voice like the most beautiful lullaby,
like music to my ears.

Crawling towards you,
captivated by your existance,
enchanted by your ways,
I leant in to kiss your soft lips,
the lips I have yearned to kiss for so long in your absence.

But as I reached for you,
you faded, along with your melodic voice,
as the curve of the sun
rose slowly over the horizon.

And now I sit here in torment,
as if a thousand needles were stabbing me in the heart,
And in emptiness,
as no day is worth living
without you.
