11/22/16
I woke up at 2:32 this morning
There was a man in a mask
He chased me down the street into a house I used to call my home
He chased me to the corner where I curled into a ball
You showed up in the doorway to protect me
But you did just the opposite
You handed him a gun and watched what he did to me
I fell back asleep at 3:46
This time we were at a baseball game
Sitting in the bleachers with a blanket and a baby
The crowd went silent and stared
They moved closer and everything was moving in slow motion
The man came back and reached for the child
I tried to keep my grip but you took it from my hands and gave it away
I looked to you, screaming and crying, wondering why you'd done it
But you didn't answer
You just disappeared
I didn't sleep after that
So the nightmares ended and you loved me again
