waking from a dream

A Poem by smokeynick

Just a dream that I have and the reaction to

Here I lay in my bed sorely drifting off to sleep. When it comes I start to dream a dream often dreamt. It starts the same as every other night where her and I are happy, things are good. I hold her and feel her soft skin against my callused hands. I breathe in her scent. I an in what feels like a life where all is good and nothing can go wrong. The sun shines and radiates from her smile. She is the guiding light in my world. When I start to get comfortable and very content the clouds roll in and things grow dark. Her glimmering smile turns into a frown, my way has been lost. For what seems like eternity I try to find that light again but to no avail. Than when all seems darkest I wake to realize it was a dream that became reality and she is gone.
