only one request: a poem (february 10, 2011)

could you please leave me alone

and quit haunting my dreams?

what’s the use in haunting

if you care nothing for me?

last night i dreamt you shunned me,

and when you turned to go,

you took my favorite with you—

the one i call my home.

i know that you’re both gone,

truly i’ve known for quite a while;

i suppose that in my dreams,

my knowledge lags behind.

i miss you every day

but i have only one request:

quit haunting me with questions

so my dreams can give me rest.
