Slowly the darkness settles
Drowning the sun in the depths of
Far off mountain peaks

I snuggle into my pillow
Drowning in my loneliness
Tears slipping from my eyes

Holding myself I sob
Why me? Why you?
What could I have done?

My tears slow then stop
My breathing begins to soften
As sleep overtakes me again

I wake to see a sunrise
And feel the weight no more
My heart is full of happiness

There you stand
Arms outstretched
Gathering me to your chest

I heave a sigh of relief
Back in the place that I like best
Safe and secure in our love

You whisper you love me
I reply in kind
Visions of eternity ensconce me

Suddenly a clamor
Pulls you from my arms
Tearing out my heart with you

I cover my ears
My minds screams NO
Not again, please not again

Dappled sunlight dances
Through the curtains over my bed
As I pull the pillow down from my eyes

I turn off the alarm
And softly whisper good-bye
As the dream fades and life continues

Dance like no one's watching.
Love like it's never going to hurt.
If it does hurt, shoot em! <Grin>

I loved this poem. It sucks wakeing up from a dream that feels so real, exspecially when you're happy.
Blessed Be

You describe your loneliness before going to sleep and your pain of saying goodbye to your dream so well, to end with a very down to earth "and life continues". I enjoyed this very much. Very well written.

My dreams are filled with my love in my arms, as I hold my pillow at night, these dreams are not welcomed, but pull the very essence from me. I don't say good bye, but curse it for returning, to make me bleed again.
your poem is very heartfelt, and to the bone.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Such longing, such saddness for a lost love that has appeared to you in dreams and upon awakening gone.
