Forever She Dreams

“Forever She Dreams” By: Christian Shepherd I want her back in my arms, to feel her breathe on my neck. Her every breathe detectable on my chest. To hold her close from leaving me. Watch her as she sleeps, to hold her close in a slumber so deep. Watch as her expressions tell a dream, her temporary reality. Tell her to "sleep tight love, I’ll see you in the morning." Wake up to her by my side, without her my heart unforgivingly bleeds. I don’t want to be without you, the thought brings melancholy. I want you with me, "please don’t leave me,” I plead. But its too late for pleas, fate has already made its judgment. Now she is forever gone, and I am empty. I still bleed. I wish I could go back to her. Savor every moment i took for granted. But for now my heart still bleeds. Lying at night kills me, looking over where she slept. Seeing her figure in the shadows, knowing only that it is wishful thinking. Still i reach over, hoping to find its rest. I pray that rest may be her shoulder. The shoulder that I used to cry on. The should that now could stop my pain. Then anger stirs inside of me, "WHY HER! COULD YOU NOT LET HER BE!" She was mine, not yours, its not fair, let her be, bring her back to me! There’s no way, fate has made its choice, and now forever she dreams. So for now…until the blood runs out...I bleed.
