The Absence of Reality

I've tasted the fruit Of the vine

and its bittersweet reality

when hearts do intertwine

into where they should not be

there is nothing so exciting as

a fleeting thought of you.

alone in the night, I whisper your name

yet knowing it will never be true

I still hope for that which isn't mine

and a charmed life with you.
