Nightmare



I awoke one fall morning

to the breeze blowing through the window screen

I reached over and realized again,

you were gone.

Once more playing it over and over in my mind

our final scene,

I still to this day don't understand what went wrong.



We spent our days and nights loving one another

holding hands

laughing

crying

just enjoying each other.



When you weren't feeling well

I doctored you with love every day

and when I came home feeling down

you gave me the same prescription in your own loving way.



I still find it hard to believe you left me

I still to this day don't understand why,

some say I was a fool to believe your lies

that I was blinded by love and couldn't see.



I walk room to room

through and through

I still find myself searching for you,

hoping to hear your voice respond and call out my name

but every day no answer,

it's always the same.



Loneliness settles in as the leaves turn to brown

bringing back memories

of when you came in and sat your suitcase down,

you couldn't look me in the eyes

but your words cut me like a knife

you told me you had to go

no longer, would you be my wife.



Just like that

no reason given

you walked out the door that day,

shocked and stunned

I watched you get in a cab and drive away.



I still remember the tears starting slowly

then turning into a stream

this was an awful nightmare,

not a dream.



I still to this day don't understand why you left me

I am still confused completely,

but the one thing I know

and I always knew,

is I still

and always will,

love you.
