Just A Dream

by Jack Nightengale   Sep 17, 2011


Too many thoughts run through my mind,
Not enough time to break these chains that bind.
Living everyday with this unseen pain,
Enough to make a normal person go insane.

Unable to sleep as I hear the echo of a bell,
My room's on fire as I lay in my own hell.
Feeling icy hands wrapped around my soul,
No longer feeling complete, unable to be whole.

Feather by feather my wings start to fade,
Taken away without a word, for this time not paid.
Time was short, I thought that you and I were a team,
Reality kicked in and in your eyes, I was just a dream.

Forever a dream, a ghost of a memory, not real,
Keep dreaming because, nothing changes what I feel.
Although the coffee taste bitter even after the cream,
When you finally wake up, you'll realize that it was Just A Dream.

    Yet the nighmare lingers even in daylight the horror of reality screams! Turn down the shades , switch of the light and listen ,listen to the ever creeping night.

    A shattered dream hurts the most.

    I liked the flow,imagery and choice of words.
