Unwanted Nightmare
Dream that plays as if from a horror flick;
Images fly forward,
Things hidden and not wanted;
It plays through and I wonder,
Is this what my heart wants,
What it yearns for inside;
It's too late, too impossible,
It's only the past,
Coming to haunt me,
Torture me inside,
With regrets;
The time wasted together,
the times I held,
sacred, dear and ones that that lasts forever;
I wish I could erase it,
Pour bleach into my brain,
Burn it out, wash it away,
So I wouldn't look at him,
and think of you;
He's not you,
Never will ever,
And for that I'm grateful;
What we had wasn't good,
But it could've been better;
And you ended it with her,
Worse than me;
But I know it's your life,
Your choice and mistake;
I can't say I love you,
But I definitely can't say I don't;
So just go away,
Fade into the abyss,
Like you were never here,
Because it kills me inside;
And I'll leave this alone,
This unwanted nightmare
