The Girl of My Dreams

She wasn’t what I envisioned for myself at all

A constant reminder of my failure

She always looks right into my eyes and tells me that I wasn’t enough
The Doctors gave me a pill to make her go away 
But she still visits me while I sleep
I can hear her tip-toe around my bed
Her skin is white as snow and her hair looks like a spiders web
Her hands freeze me as she claws at my side
I cant breath
She’s pulling me into her watery grave where I left her
I’m drowning
I’m so sorry! Come here let me fix your hair
Come here let me wipe your tears
I’m so sorry
I should have never been a paramedic
The truth is I can’t save anyone from drowning
Not even myself
You can live here now 
Safe inside my head 
Come lay beside me
You can sleep in my bed

Darren White March 31, 2017 at 12:18 AM I can relate, life isn't simple at all, it can be incredibly complicated, in- and outside ones head. You've written a beautiful first poem here on PoetrySoup. Welcome :)
