Fever Dream

In my fever dream, 
I’m united with you.
I sit by the wake
and grieve over something
that I could never
call my own.
Questions pound my head,
leaving me with dizzying thoughts,
muffling the screams of 
the demons in myself. 
Every breath I take
is haunted by your presence. 
Time goes on,
yet here I am,
by the grave grieving something,
I could never call my own.
