In a Dream

You left my life
And fell
Into my dreams.
You are gone
But now remain
In essence
Listening
Laughing
Touching
Holding
I awaken
Stirred
Startled
Finding myself
Wanting more
Breath
Quickened
Pedal to the metal
Reaching out
Calling your name
Softly
Longingly
Gently
Sadly
For you have gone
Pushed away
By my vanity
And blindness
To your heart
Open to mine.
But still I was
Unconscious
Yearning
Learning
Groping my way
Not understanding
You had yet
To climb the wall
I had constructed
Round my heart.
