My Dream Poem by Ryan Joseph Holder

Scratched and scarred
And broken inside
Held together
By excuses and lies
Charred and ripped
Beaten and scraped
I have been destroyed
And emotionally raped
But you gave me your hand
And pulled me away
From the deception
And all the decay
You helped me stand
And barely spoke
You took me in
And held me close
You kissed my cheek
And started to cry
And you smiled
As tears fell from your eyes
I broke into tears
And collapsed at your feet
You knelt by my side
Placed a hand on my cheek
I looked in your eyes
And held you tight
I finally felt
What we had was right
And then I awoke
And couldn't believe
You weren't there...
It was all a dream...
I looked out the window
With tears in my eyes
And felt so empty
...Like death was alive...
But just as the tears
Began to fall
And I was giving
Up on all
You woke up beside me
And pulled me into a kiss
And once again
I fell into bliss
Not only are you
The girl of my dreams
But you are the one
Who silenced my screams
You are mine
And I am yours
And I hope that one day
I'll be more...
