I dreamt that your head
Was placed in my lap
I caressed your soft
Soft hair and placed my
Hand on your stern shoulder
Making sure that you
Wouldn't roll away
As the car drove long
Into the night and
I felt nothing but
Your healing warmth as
I fell asleep, too.
Slowly, then all at
Once. As soon as I
Fell asleep I fell
Back into the harsh
Reality of
An empty bed and
Empty promises
And empty love that
Meant much more to me
Than it ever would
To you. I'm ashamed
That I still feel like
This, I pray that our
Past doesn't haunt my
Future. But who knows?
