nightmaring

Nightmares of no one
loving me,

and no one to
love,

as I wake throughout 
the night,

in endless cycle,
emptily, 
soullessly,
lovelessly,
alone,
once again.

I look to my left,
I look to my right,
with  no love to
be seen.

I reach in my heart,
to lay hands on
and feel the love,
felt before.

I reach for the love,
and come back empty
handed.

So, am I awake,
or
nightmaring again?

I look at clock
and then I know,
I am awake
but can't let go,

of this nightmare
that follows me,
thoughout too many
days.
