It was just a dream

  • When I become deep in thought, words just seem to come to me and from there I turn those words into a poem...

    I sit alone in a room
     A candle the only light
    the winds cold chill haunts me
    as it cuts through the darkness of another night.
    Visions of the past flash before me
    Each one playing a haunting song
    Tears fall like rivers down my face
    As the ghosts whisper their verses of wrong.
    Screaming in the dark of night
    begging to stop the madness
    The candle flickers brighter
    yet all i see is the shadows of sadness.
    Can't you see I'm broken?
    Won't you help me please?
    the sadness and the darkness
    are like a fatal disease.
    I don't want to do this anymore
    I want my life...to live
    If I could forget my past
    Maybe then they'd forgive.
    The darkness gazes upon me
    it's cold, icy fingers grab at my face
    I struggle to break free from it
    it cries out with the pasts disgrace.
    Suddenly my eyes open
    I realize its all been a dream
    My past came back to haunt me
    My slate has now been wiped clean.
    A new day awaits me
    as I shake off the fear of my dream
    at that moment I realize
    things are not always what they seem.
