The Nightmare That Set Me Free Poem by Tiger Lily Love
The Nightmare That Set Me Free
There once was a dream I was fooled into thinking was reality
Because in that dream
You and me was something I wanted
But knew could never be
In that dream you stole my heart
And part of my sanity
In that dream my common sense
Unfortunately
Ran away from me
In that dream you captivated me
In that dream I was blinded
And the stars in your eyes
Were the only things I could see
But then that dream morphed into a nightmare
And I saw you for what you really were
I realized in that nightmare
I was nothing but the prey you were trying lure
In that nightmare I realized
This was nothing but a game to you
In that nightmare you had come oh so close to trapping me too
But I tossed and turned until I was freed
And when I opened my eyes from that nightmare
That I foolishly wanted to be you and me
I was the one who learned a lesson
That the sweetest of dreams
Can be nightmares in diguise
And because of that lesson I was set free
Never again to believe all those blinding lies
Agreed, this definitly has a nice feel to it. Good pace and I like how theres a lesson at the end. Sometimes we can feel like something dsappointing happened and it was all for nothing but I like how your poem so vividly depicts that we can usually find one once we sift through all the emotions and frustrations surrounding a situation. My fav line: But I tossed and turned until I was freed. Thanks for sharing.
I like the ending, very nice message. When i was reading it, I read it as a narrative to a story or show. I has a nice feel to it. Good job

very nice job my dear. I love the last stanza the best.....it shows how even though some things may be a bad mistake you still learn from them.
