When morning came
without you
once again
I did not cry
I did not scream
or beg
I accepted it
I know
I will never
meet you
and try as
I might
I know
I can never
hold you in
my arms
and wake
with you
still beside me
try as I might
I cannot
pull you
through
the velvet curtain
of the dreaming
and I know
I should be
contented
just to see
you in
my dreams
9/8/00
