On waking up, disturbed in verse

It was crisis time in the Dreamlands
A nightmare soup du jour
No monsters here
Just bundled fear
'Twas awful, to be sure.

My kids had all gone missing
I couldn't find my way
A massive cost
To being lost
Who's really missing- me or they?

I walked in on my true love
Engaged to someone else
I was no longer fun
She sounds another one
I rated no farewells.

My mom was coming back today
A trip on someone's dime
Despite my best wishes
The sinkful of dishes
Reminded me I'm out of time.

I woke up feeling out of sorts today
Bad night, deep fright, what can I say?

My sweetheart's still here holding me tight
My children are too, the sun shining bright

But my mom won't be coming home today.
It's been seven years since she went away.
I want to call her on the phone
Tell her that I feel alone
But my service doesn't cover Heaven's Way.
