And when I wake up...

short and to the point

 

My head is clear

My heart is full

But when I dream—




you're still here.

Author's Note

too short?

No, I don't think think so.
Sometimes short poems have a stronger impact

This poem of yours tells me

you know it's over ( your head is clear)
you have moved on ( your heart is full)
your life is better ( but you still dream )

but he ain't gone ( the past haunts you in your dreams)

This often happens, the best way to handle it is to just acknowledge it for what it is and keep on keeping on.

I think your poem sums up your emotions perfectly.
