Dream Girl

In shadows cast by moon's soft glow, A love once cherished starts to wane. Your words, like petals, softly blow, Yet actions speak of silent pain. A dream girl in your whispered sighs, But in your arms, I feel unseen. Each moment shared, a subtle guise, For in your heart, I've never been. To long for touch, a fleeting dream, Yet in your gaze, I find no fire. My heart, a vessel, torn, it seems, By love's relentless, cruel desire. I yearn to be your heart's delight, But in your world, I'm just a word. A chore to bear, not a beacon bright, In this love's story's, left unfed. So let me fade into the night, A ghost of love that once did gleam. For in your eyes, I've lost my fight, To be more than just a distant dream.
