The End Of The Dream



The End Of The Dream

I dreamt of you again

Your anguish resurfaced 

And washed over me

It was not enough

For you to haunt me in life

But you even haunted me in death

I found your grave

Brushed off the face

Those lingering feelings remain

Like a vampire in the night 

How did you sink your fangs 

In so tight? 

I dreamt of you again last night

Your anger was ready to fight

Bleeding 

Screaming

I don't know what to do 

Anger 

Rage

It took its toll body and soul

You bestowed me with your love 

You bestowed me with the truth

This is the end of a dream

I wish you well.
