Woke up this morning
tears on both cheeks
remembering a life I never had
husband, three children so joyful, so glad
heart tugs at phantom memories
to love, to cherish, to hold
only to vanish, snatched away
years later, I reminisce
and miss the family that never was
It felt too real
So why let him go
he looks at me with love
I felt my children’s hands, in mine
then watched them dissipate
In to that hazy dreamscape
never to return
So sometimes, In the still
of my grief and sadness
I yearn to find the way back
