"A Nightmare"

-

Last night I dreamt of you.

You smiled at me and I didn't feel empty anymore.

I took your hand and told myself letting go was the last thing I'd do.

My stomach was a mess

Everything was perfect when we stood side by side

I knew it was a dream when I felt your soft kiss

It was so simple, sweet and short leaving me tongue-tied

After your lips left mine the world began to burn up in a flame

It felt like a knife was stuck deep in my chest because you simply walked away

I tried to run to you and I screamed out your name

You were blind to my tears

The dream sped up a few years

Slowly I fell to my knees

I watched as you fell in love

The pain was too much but I was forced to watch

You were happy and wore a smile

But inside I felt myself die
