Another Dream

Posted on May 13, 2021 by Penny Wilson Writes

I awake 
from another
dream and
 
you were 
right 
here  

I touched you 
I know I did

I come back 
to myself 

as your scent 
lingers

I close 
my eyes

an attempt to
hold you  
to recall 
your last caress

I ache 
for your touch

it's no use

you’re not 
here

leave 
my heart be  

stay out 
of my dreams

Damn you
