New Poem

Please stay out of my dreams

I don’t invade yours’

I don’t show up to hug you

Or even annoy you

And if I do I am sorry.

You shouldn’t be in my dreams

So vivid, so close

A warm lakeside, a stone-littered beach

I know I’m not the only one missing you

But I know you’ve given up

Given me up

You hugged me, you kissed me

And you were the nagging phantom

In my heart and on my mind

So many things make me whisper  your name

From time to time

You don’t want me back

You can’t have me back

You’ve said so aloud

Please stay out of my dreams

I’m sure I’m not in yours’

Author’s Note: the last time I had a dream like this I learned someone I cared for/lusted/chased/ect. , was now married to someone she preferred more than I.

C’est la vie.
