figment

you were a figment of a fantasy
a dream never to become true
a star I could never reach

in the blackness of night
I hear your soft whispers
and feel your gentle touch

I fell in love until the sun 
opened my eyes

    Been there done that, Maria. The sting is best not dwelled upon after the realization :(

    slipping into that fantasy is way too easy.

    Ah yes....the one-sided love that never comes to fruition. Happens to many. Especially love those last two lines!

    "A figment of a fantasy" .... not even a whole fantasy. Most cool, Arcadia. There something very free and open about your poem and I'm loving it.

    Nice. I wonder why the word 'figment' seems to encourage alliteration so much.
