you looked better in the dark

i sat across the room from a shadow
it was of normal size
looked good in the dark
i painted a picture in my mind 
of this beautiful creature
the kind that don't exist but in dreams
it was my dream
you were as beautiful as i made you
there was a pureness that i sensed
you were longing to be loved 
and only i could love you like you needed to be loved
touched like only i could touch you
kissed with a passion that would make you cry
that passion is held within my soul for you and you alone
there's no way to free that passion
because the lights were turned on
and i sat across the room from what was once beautiful and pure
now transformed in to something ugly and tarnished
there's never going to be an escape
the dream i once had has become my worst nightmare
