Woke from a dream
Hearing her voice
In my head
Feeling her touch
On my face
People all around
Talking asking
speaking wanting
Needing attention
From me
While all I wanted
Was her attention
Smiling eyes
Quiet words
Gentle kisses
I had no voice
Could not speak
Could only write
In verse
Hoping
She read
Understood
Found voice
Saying
“You were right.
I miss you
Loving me as
I love you.”
My eyes closed
Dreaming
She loved my
Verse as much
As I loved
My dreams of
Her voice
