Nightmare of Mine...
The nightmare I had last night...was about you.
It was a mystery...there was no telling of what you would do.
You were telling me how much you love me.
And you kept saying that we were meant to be.
Every word that slipped through your lips...hung in my mind.
Within every embrace--harm I did not find.
Rain started to fall from the black sky...
Your breath was fumeing with the stench of lies.
As I sit in your grasp--your grip tightens around me.
I choke...I cannot breathe.
Why now? Why now must you do this to me?
You act as if you're performing a show.
A show in which I play a main part.
I'm the actress that gets mentally torn apart.
I don't want to do it.
I want to wake up...this nightmare....I want to quit.
But you won't let me.
You're keeping me here.
My nightmare only gets worse I fear.
This is when your abuse comes in and takes place.
It happened so fast--I no longer am wearing my precious lace.
Your touch is of barbwire.
Your love is of roses.
Your touch--I no longer desire.
Your love--I'm the only admirer.
Right before you finished me off with your fists,
I woke up--my heart skips--beats I did miss.
I look around and I am still safe in my bed.
I never knew such a horror could take place in my head.
I hear your soft voice in the middle of the night--as we talk on the phone.
And I know I still have you. Turns out you're not gone.
But I'll be ok.
...it was just a dream...
..it was only a nightmare, never to escape and roam throughout my head..
..again...
