I will

 

A dream come true is not necessarily a reality that lasts.

Wake up

 

Even my coffee needs a pep talk,

For I feel no relief when the 
caffeine kicks in.

I know the tools

Time heals;

Not all wounds

Are bad memories to kill.

Yet I go to war defeated

Escape in the world of dreams,

Only to wake up even more

drained.

Time heals, they say, but how

much time — when it seems 

infinite.

Switched off the router today,

Waited a few seconds

Maybe my energy will start

blinking 

again.

Not yet,

Dear friend.

Be patient,

The sun has not set.

My coffee just kicked in, and I can 

still write a poem.
