Deluded By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com Your heartbeat drums in my ears, My fingers splayed across your chest. Woe, but if it were real -- I want for nothing less. I can imagine such a thing, Unshed tears glistening in my eyes. I'd bite my lip while trying to Force a failing smile. The darkness of this room While moonlight slants inside, Casting a sliver of light Over my bedside. I try not to dream, But they've been alluded to. I think I'm deluded, too. I shouldn't succumb to such fantasies. But I do. BACK
