Hypnagogic

I wake from dreams of you in maddening confusion.

For I have felt your touch so honestly,

Seen your face so vividly, yet you have long since disappeared.

Never before have I dreamed of one this way.

Shall I forever lie awake,

Forever fearful that in slumber you will return to leave me yet again.

So now I beg of you; if our souls cling to each other as I fear they have done all this time,

Release me as you long so painfully to do.
