Nicole Hawkins Poet I do not know?

Just a Dream

This is just a dream
soon, I'll wake up from this night
It can't be what it seems
 When I open my eyes, it'll be alright
But everytime I blink,
tears elude my sight
 it hurts to even think
that this could be real life
Another day passed on
and still, I'm not awake
is it possible you're really gone?
No, it must be a mistake
Yet here we all are gathered
in tragic sorrow and disbelief
As I kneel down at your casket
 I can barely breathe
This is just a dream
I close my eyes and pray
Please, before I scream
let me wake up from this day
But when I open up my eyes
I see yours are still closed
thats the moment I realized
you're never coming home
It really hurts
to even ask why
Sitting in the church
as your coffin passes by
Inside my heart was torn
why is life so unfair?
I'm in the house of the Lord
but don't  feel him anywhere
Still I pray for guidance from above
to somehow get through this
Do you know how much you're loved?
Do you know how much you're missed?
Somewhere inside
I know you're okay
You watch from the sky
You're not far away
and with time I've learned to carry on                                                         
but at times it hits me hard
That you're forever gone
and I'm forever scarred 
But Sometimes, even now,
 a part of me still believes
 that you are here somehow...
 and this is just a dream*

for Charlie. I miss you
