Mistaken Dream

I dreamt of you
          The Real you.
But just as a dream should
          It all became true.

Death walked in
          and snatched you away.
You were resuscitated
          so I knew life was not over-
You were here to stay.

You lasted about a month
          and hope fell down.
I ran to you
          as you slowly crept to the ground.

Open your eyes
          and look at me.
Your life is not yet finished
          stay here with thee.

I cried and wept
          as I had to awake.
Leaving you dying in that dream
          was an honest mistake.
