Just A Dream Poem by Sharni M

Once again your face haunts my vision and my body doesn't know how to react. Even in this place created by my mind and sleep you still appear to me. You smile and i feel discomfit in the familiarity, you walk by my side and i sense the past betrayals, You speak to me so kindly but i can smell the lies on your breath. This version of you is not real and just like that the monster appears, the real you. I awake in my bed and beside me is not you but him. He who saved me when you left and he who calms me when i wake from such dreams. He is the one you were never able to be and now all you are is just a dream
