A Nightmare of Reality

I thought I let go of you

I thought you were gone

I thought I forgot about you

But I guess I was wrong

I thought we didn’t talk

I thought this was past

I thought I chopped the beanstalk

I thought you were trapped

In the sky, away from me

Leaving me in solitude

Then how did you haunt my dream?

How did the emotions resume

Picking up where they left off

Creeping into my head

Bitterness, anger, loss

Wishing you were dead

Wishing I was too

Wanting you back

Starting to argue

Reliving the past

Sometimes it seems

The worst nightmares

Are memories

They give the most scare

Sometimes reality

Is much worse than make believe

But thankfully

I woke up from that dream in bitter relief
