wounded temptations 
unconscious fantasy 
you are everything I wanted
the life drains from me
my body screaming for rest
putting my strength to the test
I ached only for you
slumber came slow but blessed 
my body defeated 
I slept

I resided to dreaming 
allowing the thought of you 
to tempt and deviate my allusions
my desires were fulfilled
as you held me close
confessed you loved me 
your skin on mine, 
was the sweetest sin
the pleasure of your voice
made me weak and numb

every breath near you
was given a significant purpose
light headed clumsiness
my words ignorant, stumbling 
silly heart raced and exclaimed
the blind happiness it devoured
never did it recognize 
you were a mirage
a mere ghost of my memory
never again to take shape
to make it flustered 
to cause my confused relief 

suddenly and nearly painfully 
my eyes gasped
it was mortifying reality
always and forever
was never to be
excruciating recognition 
fell upon the foggy chambers 
of my fatal mind

how dare I dream
so forbidden and desolate
only giving false hope
I felt a cold shiver 
provoke my still body
alone and used
I felt the adrenaline
of my pure minded contentment 
fade and disappoint me

I shook away the haunting sight
I banished from my mind
don't fool yourself 
I whispered because
it's only a dream

My favorite line is "mortifying reality". It extremely stood up for me. I can see that you brought a lot of thoughts to it. Wow.
