Another Day Without You

A poem.

I dreamt of you
last night in bed
when sleep fell upon my weary head
and finally,
I began to rest
I saw your tender face
I kissed and kissed your little nose
I hugged you fast as sweet dreams go

you see, my love
it was about time
for my thoughts are more yours than mine
your bark, your howl
that dramatic growl
you live in my mind

you see, my love
as the clock strikes twelve
the loneliness saunters in
come in, I say, there’s plenty of space
for the dog bed has gone too
I may have survived
another day without you
but tomorrow will be just as blue

you see, my love
this is all I have left
the thoughts of you that live on in my head
no, they’re not enough to give me you
that wish is one that won’t come true
