Every night
Before I crawl into bed
I
Get on my hands and knees
And bow my head
And pray to a god
That may
Or may not
Be real
I ask my God
To help me reach her
In my dreams
If I could visit her
In her dreams
And remind her
That I am still here
And that she means everything to me
If I could just reach her...
And I ask my God
If I can get really lucky
And have her visit me
In my dreams
Where I can see her smile again
And hear her voice
And paint her smile
And kiss her soft cheek
Every
Damn
Night
I do this.
But
I haven’t dreamt in years.
-C.H.
