Relief

You're there, so close

I'm reaching

You're in my grasp

You're slipping

I'm holding tight

Not tight enough

Land far below

Too far

You're falling

I'm screaming

You're silent

You're watching

I'm breathless

You're betrayed

No time

To save you

I'm waking up

To the relief of knowing

It was just a dream.
