The Dream

Alone in the darkness,
Cold, dark, mist surrounds me,
Yet beside me is a friend.
She takes my hand.
There's a light in the dark,
That she leads me to,
And I see a window to a perfect world.
Where all my dreams would come true,
Where pain is nothing more,
Than a distant, foggy memory.
She beckons me onward,
Stepping through
To the perfect world beyond.
I reach out, and the vision shatters,
As she leaves me to my pain.
I cannot follow where she leads,
But she will not stay.
Crying out, i fall back
Onto the cold, unforgiving ground,
As the broken gateway fades.
Bruised, battered, bereft, betrayed,
I call out her name
But only silence answers.
The mist swirls to surround me once more,
And i am alone again.
