lucid dream

his dream, so lucid
feels like a memory
a heartbeat before dawn
a lovebird sings alone
he whispers her name
and kicks out the sheets
breathing her in softly
then exhales, so deep

it’s not time to go yet
begs, please don’t leave
it takes him a moment
to step out of his dream
how could he still feel it
her warmth in the bed
a scent on his pillow
her voice in his head

his eyes crunch tight
as he tries not to cry
if love doesn’t exist
then how will he survive
he dives into blackness
as he chases his dream
these water are endless
and he sinks, so deep
