Bittersweet nightmare

 
 
Just a phantom of a forgotten strain
That haunts the chambers of my mind
A sleepless night, a nightmare undefined
A sickening scene, my heart in pain
A scene replayed, the memories remain
How could I be so blind?
How easy for you to leave it all behind
I wake up, and the tears fall like rain
That was the past I held with delight
How she kissed and how she loved me
They are gone like the wind taking flight
Gone, like the shadows in the night
A prisoner of past, how I wish I was free
I will wait for the light 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

Wrote this sonnet at work in regards to a nightmare I always have. The scene of my ex-fiancé handing back the ring and the words that echo "I'm not happy anymore".

Recurring nightmares

Been having them after my ex-fiancé left. I hope I find my light too. Thank you.
