A Shattered Dream Poem

I just wanted to mention this poem is more of a free form poem. I like poems that rhyme as well as ones that do not. Now on to the poem.


A Shattered Dream

He tenderly caresses my smooth flesh as the rain gently kisses my face.
He drives all of my insecurities away with his passionate kisses.
I feel nothing but inner warmth as he whispers his confessions of love for me in my ear.
I look at his beautiful face lighted up with love below a waxing moon.
Under a blanket of stars, we make love over and over again.
He shows his love for me with actions and words.
We fall asleep in each others' arms to the pitter-patter of rain.
I wake up and look at the clock only to realize that it was just a dream.
I then look down at my pillow to discover it is tear streaked.
All there is left for me to do is gently cry myself back to sleep from the harsh realities of my painful life.
