Well, this is a tad violent at the end, isn't it? Does the beloved get plowed by a truck in your dream? How awful, but it fits the title! I can see you really put some time into the meter, and you seem to have the 5 stresses in each line. Only a few words are awkward in terms of pronounciation that way: if you look at your "closer," it would have to be pronounced cloSER to fit in your meter when normally we would say it CLOser. That's the toughest part, so I can really appreicate struggling with that! Otherwise, interesting idea.
