When reality wakes me

There were tears as
I awoke from a dream.
Sadness woke me
showing me a past made
of shards of jade that broke
they shattered.
I fell asleep
but I awoke and saw
you, lights clear, and that
moment, that sorrow that
gripped my heart,
knowing then it was
not true...That moment
I knew.

I jolted back
to a reality where
I could swim in my
sea of shallow absence,
staring into glass and
knowing it was gone.
