Ripped Dreams Poem by Beatrice Preti

I hate the way you haunt me
You poison all my dreams
You force me to insanity
Your visions make me scream
I see your rotting body
I see your headless corpse
I see the dreams you stole from me
You ripped away by force
You wake me from my slumber
To make a zombie in disguise
The walking, waking dead by day
Though every night I die
And I can't fool your presence
I can't hide from your eyes
The way you used to look at me
And all your little lies
And I see you when I am sleeping
I call your name in vain
The way we used to be is gone
And I'll never be the same
