Just a Dream

You screamed my name,
I turned,
You weren't there.
Was it only me...?
Thinking...?
These thoughts,
So Painful.

I dropped to my knees,
I sobbed forever.
Why...?
Why did you have to leave,
In my time of need?

I was there for you,
All those times you cried...
I was there for you,
When you most needed me.
I had hoped to be there for you,
Forever.

Where are you?
When...?
When will you see,
That I need you

How...?
How will I ever live,
Without you?
To many questions...
Unanswered

I cried.
I remembered that day,
The day you said those words.
You were trying to save me.

What...?
What from,
From you?
I couldn't believe you.

I scream your name,
The pain tangible in my voice.
I need you...
I need you so much.
I need you to save me.
No, not from you...
But from myself

I closed my eyes,
Blocked the pain.
Only...
Only for a moment.
I told myself.

I stirred.
I awoke.
I straightened,
Looking around.
There you were...
Asleep beside me.

It was just a nightmare...
Just a dream...
Not real.
