Why in my nightmares do I beat a girl in my dream,
never the same scene, but in anger I rant and scream?

In the back of my mind, could it be my dead sister,
while alive and near,  I never told her I loved her.

So bittersweet. I empathise. But it may not be your sister you are beating. x

I can't wait to see the winners of this contest. It was so interesting to me .Was just trying to find something of yours to see but I can't seem to find a newer poem I have not already read. If you can think of an older one I may not have ever seen, let me know, Eve.

Dreams are great for inspiration but i try to never over think them. This is pure and dark and true poetry. I think it's amazing.

It could be a number of things, it could also be your beating yourself, it may be doubt... Might be a good idea to get it interpreted...

I really like this unique take in the contest, Eve. I can see this being a real thing for you. I have had such strange dreams myself. I am sure for a repeated dream it does have some significance!

Eve, a haunting question, a nightmare really, best of luck in the contest, and I am also haunted by ghosts and words I should have said in life, so I know how you feel...
