Heartbreak
 
I had a sweet and lovely dream 
while fast asleep last night
Which stayed with me in memory
until the morning light
Such ecstacy will comfort me
until my life is done
My eyelids closed I guess I dozed
to end my day of fun
Slowly I fluffed up my pillow
to rest my weary head
Smoothed the bumps and creases
atop my narrow bed
Just then it slowly came to me
how very lonely one could be
I knew my thinking I must change
my attitude must be rearranged
With this in mind I laid me down
a cunning smile upon my face
No longer would I wear a frown
I'd be welcome anyplace
Almost at once I fell asleep
to dream about your radiant face
I had met you quite oft before
made cherished trips outside your door
So eager I to share your space
When I awoke my heart did pound
to hear a well remembered sound
The merry tinkling of your voice
so quickly made my heart rejoice
I reached out shyly for your hand
a pleasure long and truly planned
With sad regret at what I'd done
we said goodbye and you were gone
