Horrible Dream

I had a Horrible dream just the other night.
About this girl who is very tight,
with this one boy who just happens to be,
my boyfriend. And now you see 
what a predicament I'm in,
Since the dream also included him.

Lets set the scene in the living room
And set the mood to happy, which will soon turn to gloom
So there we are just as happy as can be
till the girl suddenly turns to me and says pleasantly,
He cant, He loves me. Shocked at her words I have nothing to say
thinking to my self what a horrible day.

So instead I turn to him and ask is this true?
he assures me that it is. Now I do know what to do.
He tells me he has loved her for a while.
He avoids eye contact, but still I stare at him in denial.
Not being able to comprehend, 
that our relationship has just come to an end.

Till realizations dawns on me, 
and I run to him and start hitting him bruetly.
Sobs escape my mouth as i cry hysterically, how could you!? 
Do I mean nothing? Did what we have not matter to you?
He says he's even had her physically. I asked him surely it wasn't as good.
But he disagrees and says he would like to leave, that he should.

My heart just crushed like a ball of play do,
as I lay on the floor sobbing no.
I couldn't believe he'd lied to me,
used me then traded me for another she.
And that's about the time I woke up,
My pillow wet from all the tears it soaked up.

The horror of the dream still fresh,
my stomach tightened. I told my self I'd rather face death,
then to ever have to live though that dream.
It felt so real, it seemed.
But I reassured myself it was not,
and I fell back asleep tears still streaming and a nose dripping snot.
