my dreams miss you
I close my eyes and think
of the years I spent willing you
back to me.
I am still waiting.
my dreams are waiting too.
but, don’t you know this?
you always had proof of everything
so I am positive that
this is no different.
every night, you die
again
and every night,
I do too.
“my dreams miss you” – what a powerful way to start the poem and the last stanza
“every night, you die
again
and every night,
I do too.”
is a perfect conclusion to the poem and echoes the longing of the first line beautifully. I love the tone you set in this entire piece, milady!
