Dreams

5 1 1
                                    

It's always the same.

You, in all your glory.

Me, with my lack thereof.

Your hand in mine,

Warm and familiar,

Like the comforting weight

Of a child's favorite blanket.

I feel tears on my cheeks,

But I can't tear my eyes away from yours.

Fantasies, forgiveness,

All made flesh.

Then, I wake up,

And you're gone.

The warmth of your hand replaced

With the coolness of my pillow,

Damp from my drool and tears.

It's always the same,

And yet I never learn.

You've reached the end of published parts.
