are you real?
did you exist?
look at me once
and make me weak?
those loving eyes
that spoke of tender things
and those perfect lips
that dripped of honey
a heart of gold
and a soul who knows
the complicated irony of
every atom that built me
was it real?
did we ever exist?
in a space of mutual caress
in a perfect moment in time?
did you once laugh up at me
and I answer you with understanding
the beginnings of something
that would never be?
was it real?
did you ever exist for me?
