bereft of dreams

there they are
those faces
from the past
filtering through
my dreams
causing confusion
asking questions
that can no longer
be answered
about their take
on events
long gone
and I break
an oath
pour whiskey
down my throat
in the vain attempt
to find sleep
bereft of dreams

  1. I love this, it’s so touching and those faces in the past…. they still haunt me from time to time and so I can relate to this on a level, I wish I could not. I love this poem so very much…
