Nightmare Poem by jacqueline munson

i was in my own little world
a light breeze goes through my
window ruffling the flames of the
candles swirling the fragrances
around the room. its almost midnight
as i finally fall asleep with dancing flames
behind my eyes with the darkness that follows
your face fills my mind now the words spill over
my dream turning it into a nightmare
you said you hate me never wanted to see me again
feeling like i have been slapped
i wake up crying
the phone rings
i picked it up
you say
i love you never meant to hurt you
im sorry for everything
please forgive me
then i say never but i do love you
let me think this nightmare threw
