The world is not a wish granting factory

And now when you lie asleep,

in a coffin all packed,

All I wish for a heart this racked;

A moment in your arms,

Which in itself is eternity;

The hold of your charms,

That echoes of serenity;

Your lips brushing with mine,

Electrifying my soul;

The divinity of love,

Unifying us whole.

My hands caressing your hair,

As my name escapes your lips;

The brightening of my face,

As your hands reach my hips.

The fair lit night,

and the music filled breeze;

As your coffin is lifted, 

I got one last plea;

Our fingers entwined,

and our gazes locked;

Our footsteps tuning,

to the beat of our hearts.

In a moment of time,

I'm brought back from my dream;

Let alone read an eulogy,

I couldn't even scream. 

I'm no more in my dreamland,

That's filled  with beauty. 

I'm standing in the cemetery,

To witness down,

the harshness of reality. 

I lay down weeping,

for that one last dance.

And later while,

I'm awakened out of my trance,

With a heart so heavy,

I walk to your grave.

A trembling soul

and a face so brave.

I beg for your life,

Wishing to recreate our history.

Not realizing that the world is not 

A wish granting factory.
