I dream of you

Last night

I dreamed of you.

 

My heart

It ached.

How I yearn

For your affection.

 

A flame

That once

Blazed.

Now lay

Smouldering,

I try

To stir

And rekindle

To no avail.

 

I am invisible,

Withdrawn.

Like,

I no longer exist.

Cast away

I am adrift.

 

On the ocean

Of

Your heart.

Battling

A raging sea,

Fighting to stay

Afloat.

 

I reach for

Your hand.

Slowly

Slipping

Its grasp.

 

My sails

Have torn,

No paddle,

No life jacket.

I am losing,

Hope.

 

The waves

Overcome me

I drown

In the emptiness

Of your heart.

Lost

Forgotten maybe

I will

Never know.

I am dead

I lost

My soul.

 

Into

The abyss

I go,

A struggle

I give into.

 

The darkness

Welcomes me,

My body

My soul

Slowly fading

Away.

 

Last night

I dreamed of you.

 

Author's Note

Titles titles, why do we strain to find the right one?

I like the use of your metaphor and the way you used it. And yes, I've never been good at titles. :)

[Dilan Gray]

This poem is so beautifully written. I love it.

Much appreciated.

[Chris Shaw]

I struggle with titles. Your poem is beautifully conveyed. Oh to be the anchor in someone's heart instead of feeling as though you are falling into an abyss. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your review

[Cherrie]

For every writing that titles itself there is that one that seems nameless.
Your poem is excellent. Filled with need missing the one just a hands touch away
