Only in Dreams



Only in Dreams

If only a different choice was made.
A split second..a moment in time
How if we could have only known.

       What a gift to be shown ....the reality that never happened. A life so amazing, so far from here, all the things we want now, everything we are searching for so lonely, such a dream you never want to wake up from .....and when you do you try to just get back to sleep hoping to get back where you could of been, should of been...wrong decision after wrong decision maybe its a nightmare that haunts over and over. The reason that half of everyday cant be sober. If only we could go back in time and when faced again somehow given a sign. Ive done all I can do there simply isn't a way through.  Goodbye my love....only in dreams will we be together until heaven.

About this poem

A girl faced with a decision to become a woman , a mother, a wife, a family, and to have love. The girl couldn't but is given a gift to see what her life could have been if she had. Maybe a gift or maybe a curse keeping her feeling nothing but regret. She and the one man that truly loved her find their happiness and each other in this re occurring dream/nightmare Her soul was attacked and murdered by those she thought loved her...now her spirit is gone. They see each other but can no longer know one another.
