Nightmare
A best friend once I had
Yet was long ago
Transformed into someone
I no longer know
A brother once I had
How well I knew his face
Seems to me another soul
Now occupies his space
A lover once I had
Twas the center of my life
His heart he pledged to me
Chose another for his wife
A partner once I had
I trusted with my ware
Took all of my material wealth
Then left without a care
A pure world once I had
Its beauty to behold
Now badly scarred and littered
Its surface bare and cold
A nightmare once I had
But with the light of day
All these things imagined
Had somehow gone away.
