i betray myself every night,
when i sneak off
and see you in my dreams.

Lovely! So few words, but so much meaning.  A lesson for us all perhaps?

This is quite amazing. You managed to capture the unwanted longing so well in just three lines. Really impressed.

This is awesome!!!
Very few words but it says so much.
Great write and thought.
I cannot write like this, I usually take five or six, four line stanzas to say the same thing. I may use it in one of my poems if that would be ok. It is inspiring. Here&#8217;s one of mine that recently was trending.

      The Wails Of The Banshee 

  As the Sun rises to kiss the day 
The fog is thick and lingering 
Fall has set in and the air is crisp 
The leafs are colorful but withering 

In the distance we can hear the wails 
Of the Banshee and fear for the worst 
This town has a dark history and 
Some say that it&#8217;s cursed 

Tonight the Moon will be full 
With a hazy halo ring 
As it will rise above a darkening Sea
As a breeze sends a chill I pray for spring 

For the fall is just the presser to winter 
And winters here can be harsh 
And with the night comes the danger 
Of a strange creature lurking in the marsh

It comes in the fall and leaves in the 
Spring and each year lives are lost 
Some have described the creature 
As a sinister looking Jack Frost 

The town&#8217;s people all live in fear 
And never go outside at night 
As the creature seems to grave humans 
To satisfy his monstrous appetite

Especially on a night of a full Moon with 
A hazy halo ring above a darkening sea
There&#8217;s certain to be impending death 
Upon hearing the wails of the Banshee

It seems to me like you need to STOP betraying yourself!!!

A nice beginning I feel, but could be helpfully fleshed out by a series of three-line stanzas...
