You Never Knew

I lost something last night
 not knowing it had gone.
Was it innocence? or desire?
 Or, was it but the seed
of a dream yet to be...

Did consciousness fade
 into complacency?
Did the clarity of my visions dim
 merging in to shadow...

She was there last night.
 I know she saw me,
though her eyes were
 locked deep within his.

I lost something last night,
 not knowing it had gone.
