dreaming without you
I used to have this recurring dream
That I’m running to you
I jump into your arms and you hold me tight
But now in my dreams
I’m being buried alive
Dark blue waves pull me under the surface
I gasp for air
But the water is engulfing me
I grab onto your shirt
Begging you to stay
But someone rips you away from me
I scream your name
But my voice echoes back in the darkness
I run to your outstretched arms
But I never get any closer
A single tear rolls down my cheek
And lands on your ash white face
You lay in your coffin
I hold your cold hand in mine
It’s the last time we are together
Nightmares ravage my sleepless nights
My own sobs startle me awake
My pillow is soaked with tears
I could make the dreams stop
But they are all I have left of you
In my nightly terrors
You kiss my lips one final time
