Dreams Don't Materialize Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reaching for your hand in the night, awakening from dreams
where we two are together in love, lying next to one another,
becoming one.

Upon waking, finding it's not so, tears filling my eyes with
the love I still have held closely in this heart for you
only my dear.

Wanting to be held and loved by you my darling, I cannot com-
prehend that we can no longer be together in this world and I
die a little more each night when I awaken from dreams of us
that never materialize, are never true for us anymore.
