Bad Dream

I rolled
out of bed

literally
rolled

i hit my head

I was dreaming
of you

took place at
the airport
this one close
to home

i was waiting
for you
looking around
and smiling
just me and 
our daughter
smiling and waiting

we saw plenty of
soldiers find 
their mate

tired of waiting
i called out
your name

until another
soldier
slowly walked 
my way

he had the saddest 
look 
on his face
almost in tears

he cupped
my hands in his
and I knew 
what he was 
going to say

the soldier gave
me a medal
and said how
you saved 
everyone's life

then i started
to shake
and panic

and that's when i fell
out of bed
