Illusions

By Phoenix

I huddle into the corner,
as i assume the fetal position.
A tear falls across my cheek,
as it stains my shirt.

I try to lay down,
but all i see,
is your face on the roof.
So Elegant.
Michaelangelo himself must have painted it.

Though my eyes betray me,
for you are not there.
Not now.
Not ever.
