A dark and unfamiliar place

[femmme fatal]

The other day I dreamt of you,
A tumultuous and waking dream;
A place that’s only halfway through
The gates of slumber, and it seemed
So real to me I cried aloud,
And woke with tears upon my face;
The sheets all twisted in a shroud,
A dark an unfamiliar place.
I try to cast your ghost away,
Sweep out the corners of my heart;
But pieces always seem to stay,
I can’t let go in whole or part.
Your face always comes back to haunt
My dreams, unguarded in the night,
It seems no matter what I want,
Your darkness always shadows light.
Why do I want you so badly when
I know you’ll never be mine again.

absolutely breathtaking AJ! the wording, the imagery, everything touches you deep down. the feelings just surround you the moment you read a line. maybe its just my current situation that makes this poem even more meaningful and poignant to me but even if i couldn't relate at all, I'd still say this is one excellent piece of writing! great job!

this is awesome, sad but moving on is hard to do sometimes, even when we don't want to.

amazing work as always
