Love Poem: This Is Just a Dream

This Is Just a Dream


I play my part well, I am fine REALLY,
No one meeting me would guess the pain I keep;
    I will deny it,
       I am just fine.
But, I live in a world of long ago- the  p a s t,
because that is where I was the happiest;
before the deaths, before my heart broke,
    I linger in childhood.
        I DENY the truth to myself,
             they are not  d e a d;
                   this is just a dream.
Soon, I will wake up from this bad dream,
and my husband will be smiling at me;
      my baby boy will be in my arms,
mother and father . . .  NOT names engraved.
I dwell in a foggy world under a forever umbrella,
                   in my eternal denial . . .
