Nightmare Poem by Matt Burgett

I'm stuck in a sleep deprived nightmare
And inside a casket lies you
My tears fall upon your beautiful cheek
As I pray that it's not true

But your face is as soft as ever
And I just want to hold your hand
So I reach into the casket
And realise I just can't

So if my nightmare is real
And you are gone forever
I'll be forced just to sigh
And forever I will have to die

But to read your eulogy
Would be so hard to do
Because it would take forever
To explain the best of you

So now my heart is in my hand
And I would give it right away
If only you could live
If only you would stay
