Half-Lights

A blurring spectacle
Your scorching sight,
Shrouding me in visions
Of piercing delight.

An elusive oasis
Your glittering facade,
Of brimming promises-
A quenching mirage.

Now my tainted heart
Hangs on splintered skies,
Scattered above a wasteland
Of shadows and lies.

Like phosphorescent stars
Invisible by day,
We are half-lights;
Flickering through borrowed rays.
