Waiting To Wake

Cliched love I feel,
Like Romeo to Juliet.
Sickeningly pure and absolute,
My heart leaps at the sight of her.
But she turns and walks away,
I call to her;
No response.
Chills run down my spine,
And anxiety erupts in my heart.
I pursue, hollering until my voice cracks
And my stomach aches.
But the gap between us widens,
Eventually I can no longer make out her figure.
Unable to endure such agony, I mercifully awake.
The fog of sleep is thick,
And I survey my surroundings in confusion.
And there she is between my arms,
Exactly where I left her.
Her head on my chest,
Arm draped across my waist.
I let my head drop back to the pillow,
Close my eyes, and smile.

Omigosh, what a terrible dream, but a wonderful awakening.
Excellent verse that tricks the reader until the end. Very emotive.
Wonderful use of imagery.

I have had dreams very similar to this one. Unfortunately, mine didn't end so well in real life. So, I could absolutely relate to that waking with that horrible anxiety. Wish you the best and thank you for an enjoyable read.
