Dreams And Nightmares

Folder: 
Blah

You haunt me in my dreams

And somewhere in my nightmares

You come out of the deepest shadows

To scare me once again

Your lips of tender fire

Burning through my cheek

Where you last kissed me

Oh so long ago

When I was still in love with you.

I burned with passion and desire

To possess that which I did not have

You

Who were the epitomy of my definition of beauty

Until I found out

I was just, not, enough

To satiate the deepest hunger inside of you

To love, and be loved in returned

Because somewhere deep inside

You didn't love me

And you never would.

Your hair still tickles my nostrils

Where its scent colors the insides of my mind

Spraying shadows vividly across miles and miles of landscape

That was meant to be painted with you

Spreading beauty and love all over the world

That was held inside of me

But that was just a dream

Or some vividly described nightmare

Where once again

The world decided I wasn't good enough

To be loved.

wow, this is a really great poem. i like how you wrote it, it seems very interesting to me :o) too bad it's about saddness mixing with a partially broken heart, i wish you never had to write any of those types of poems but they are beautiful just the same. keep up all your good work and i'm happy you're finally writing again! YAY!
