just a dream

I’m unsure,

uncertain,

scared.

What happens next?

That light in the seemingly never ending darkness seems to have diminished; a wavering reminder of where I want to be, who I want to be, who I am seems but a distant fading star. Coldness holds me in this place in this darkness and lonely in this, this life I grasp for what’s real and it falls through my fingers, these stained digits of hopelessness clenching at nothingness.

White knuckled in despair,

I see you.

I remember your touch.

I remember your taste,

the honeyed kiss of your lip,

of your skin

I drink in the sweetness that is you.

 

The blinds clank against the window and I am startled to a dazed wake.

I rub the last look of you from my eye and swallow the last of your taste…

 

Again just a dream,

 

how I wish I might sleep forever….
