filling my soul with hope
i daze my way through life
a static smile on my face
but when the night comes
you suddenly appear
your voice, your laugh
a simple caress
the feel of you reinforces
the cracks in my heart
wetting my cheeks
with silent tears
i see you in a blur
completely out of focus
yet so perfectly formed
your rhythm defining me
moving and sweeping
but in the thick of the night
you're no more than a wisp
of a faded memory
