choking…

An entire poem
came to me
in my dream
I didnt write it down when I awoke
it seemed rather uncomplicated 
simply endearing 
It was something I read
as if it addressed to me
I remember darkness was penetrating
sparse light fell across the words
I lie here awake a few hours later 
having forgotten the words
Yet I remember a feeling
of sweetness 
that perhaps at one point
someone 
somewhere 
had loved me deeply…

There is no comfort
in this…

an unknown longing…

breathing in
a choking emptiness
