I dream of you

I dream of you

A Poem by lawrence bear
"

A struggle I give into

"


Last night

I dreamed of you.

 

My heart

It ached.

How I yearn

For your affection.

 

A flame

That once

Blazed.

Now lay

Smouldering,

I try

To stir

And rekindle

To no avail.

 

I am invisible,

Withdrawn.

Like,

I no longer exist.

Cast away

I am adrift.

 

On the ocean

Of

Your heart.

Battling

A raging sea,

Fighting to stay

Afloat.

 

I reach for

Your hand.

Slowly

Slipping

Its grasp.

 

My sails

Have torn,

No paddle,

No life jacket.

I am losing,

Hope.

 

The waves

Overcome me

I drown

In the emptiness

Of your heart.

Lost

Forgotten maybe

I will

Never know.

I am dead

I lost

My soul.

 

Into

The abyss

I go,

A struggle

I give into.

 

The darkness

Welcomes me,

My body

My soul

Slowly fading

Away.

 

Last night

I dreamed of you.

Much appreciated.
I struggle with titles. Your poem is beautifully conveyed. Oh to be the anchor in someone's heart instead of feeling as though you are falling into an abyss. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your review
For every writing that titles itself there is that one that seems nameless.
Your poem is excellent. Filled with need missing the one just a hands touch away

I felt connected and you know what when we love someone we do get heartaches and no one notices how it hurts us

I will be call this poem gentle darkness. It's quiet sad piece but there is so many beautiful expressions at this piece. For me it's feel like prelude on the piano. Some dark tones vibrating with bright melodies. I can really feel music in this flow. For me this piece talk at so many layers. But what i will be pointed out it's desire to stay positive even end be very scary. I like that.
