Blemish

The dream and the sight 
one fateful night 
came to me in bliss 

I saw her there 
long raven hair 
and offered up a kiss 

So perfect in dreams 
are things that aren't what they seem 
alas they all fall to fate 
  
What was there 
beyond compare 
was something I realized too late 

I saw beauty when there was fault 
I heard Love You's when there was not 
What was was not to be had 
and the dream had begun to rot 

What I saw was not what was true 
the woman i loved was not really you 
but a blemished dream reality had slew
