the night lies

I don’t know how to

miss you the right way yet

the night lies to me

with a rueful smile,

prowling in the quiet

I berate myself for

mistakes and doubts,

I console myself with

reassurance and patience

I avoid the falling daggers

of hopelessness, trying to

protect the heart by

trusting your words

I don’t know how to

miss you the right way yet,

I fear I’m getting better

at it

but the night

still lies to me
