If I could

A dream of yearning.

I once heard that in the depths of a dream, I have control.

If I want to kick, I can kick.

If I want to scream, I can scream.

If I want to cry, I can cry.

I once heard I could do whatever I want in a dream.

Yet, when I dreamt of you,

I could not kick,

I could not scream,

I could not cry.

In my dream, when I felt you in that black casket,

Being dragged to the abyss of this earth

I wanted to kick

Scream

Cry.

Yet, I just stood there, watching,

Hands gripping my sides;

Feet rooted to the ground;

Just like the first time.

I wanted to act like a child when you take something precious from them.

I wanted to kick,

Scream,

Cry, 

At whoever took you away from me.

But, in my dream, I had no control to change things,

Just like I had no control of keeping you by my side.

This is work to be proud of G.B and look forward to more of your art being shared with us here in this community you are a part of. I always say good writing must have truth and be emotive as well as descriptive. Give your audience a vision of where these words stem from. Make it relatable and identifiable to the reader. You did exactly this for me in your poem. Job well done can't wait to read more of your art.
