I had a dream

That it was just a dream

I woke up to your breath

It startled me, so pleasantly

To find you after death

I buried my face, into your chest

My eyes swelled up with tears

And in that dream,

At least it seemed..

We hugged like that for years

That night, I dreamt I gave you food

You licked up every crumb

You were jumping around, excitedly

Like all our pain was numbed

I dreamed that you stared at me

Your slobber in my hair

We fell asleep, for one last time

When I woke, you were not there

I had a nightmare, that it was real

And my brain filled up with fog

But I never woke, to clear that smoke

And grieved for my dream dog
