Another dream and I wake up crying.
This time you’re angry at me losing your car.
In the dream, whilst rushing you to hospital,
We crash on an icy hill.
Another dream and I wake up breathless.
This time you’re upset with me; giving up hope.
In the dream, whilst trying to explain to you,
I say, “They said you were dead.”
Another dream and I wake up sweating.
This time you’re confused with me…
In the dream; she hangs on,
Whilst knowing she’s gone,
You are not and it hurts.
Another dream of dissonance.
how easy it would be to say,
“You’re still here.”
“She’s still here.”
How much my heart is tempted
To say that that is true
And how painful it is to wake.
