Liz Vad Poet Rhyme

Nightmare Within

Wide awake I am as my soul is shaken to its core
The nightmare I had tonight was a story that is beyond lore 
I saw the ones I love leave me one by one 
And the idea that I could ever be happy was finally done 
My heart ripped and tore into a pile of pieces
Pieces that put together look like a picture of you and me and what we was meant to be 
Yet reality struck me and my heart knew that your love was never free
It struck, whipped and tortured my mind destroyed the happy thoughts I had and created a monster instead 
It was a gruesome dark monster with evil thoughts running around in its head
Lonesome and sad it was, it soon grew angry and destroyed its relationships one by one 
Blasting away friends and family with the ferocity of a shotgun 
It let no one around it and it soon became isolated 
And that image left you elated 
The monster was depressed and had a shrunken core 
It raged and cried with a loud and trembling roar 
It looked in the water to see its reflection
And it was shocked at who it was 
you see you leaving me was not the true nightmare
 What scared me the most was facing what I had become
