I live for my dreams. Tissue warning.

narrative verse in rhyming quatrains

I live for my dreams.

 

She comes to me in dreams at night.

And holds me as she used to do.

But disappears by morning light

So I am left to grieve anew..

 

There’s no one left to comfort me

My family are long since gone.

I wait for nightfall eagerly

Just for a while I’m not alone.

 

Each night before I sleep I pray

My love will come to visit me.

Although I’ll face another day

of loneliness and misery.

 

They say that passing time will heal.

For some perhaps it may be true.

But not for me because I feel

 the anguish still of losing you.

 

I know somewhere you wait for me.

You can’t return and won’t go on.

You know we have eternity.

That I will follow where you’ve  gone.

 

When death released you from your pain.

And left your spirit free to fly.

 You promised me we’d meet again.

Now all I do is wonder why.

 

  Fate decided  that we should be.

Forced to go our separate ways

Parted arbitrarily.

Condemning me to lonely days.

 

She comes to me by night in dreams

and holds me as she used to do

 When for a while at least it seems

as if my dreams will soon come true.

 

I pray each night I will not wake.

To be set free to rejoin you.

A journey I will gladly make.

There’s nothing here for me to do.

Brilliant and awesome. Those the poems and lyrics I love to read and write as well. Sad, emotional, and beautiful. Sadness does bring the greatness in words.

Love is a spirals of emotions even if it tried to leave, the effect is still there.

I really enjoyed reading this piece. This is a perfect example of meter in poetry!
