Dawn Nilson Poem
i got a gift for you
I hope you just love it
I wrap it up in the finest paper
the only way to truly show my love I admit
I cant wait to give you the object
this polished piece I want you to own
and if I give it to you
this significance my affection Will be shown
i tied a luxurious ribbon
with the biggest perfect bow
this package is stunning I’m so excited
God your mind will be blown
I prepare my attire excited and disappointed knowing it will be my last
on my way over my confidence confirms my decision every detail’s surpassed
the rhythm resonating from the box comforts me like a newborn in the womb
although I won’t be able to enjoy your recognition from inside my marble tomb
my excitement is so overwhelming it feels unexplainably fun
I am just pleased I found my destiny
since we both know you are the one
I’m starting to feel faint
it’s OK tho I am almost there
but, wait are you having company over?
if so I was unaware
peeking in your smile has brought me the comfort I’m looking for
I take a deep breath knowing
I won’t get to enjoy it much more
my knock brought your eyes to mine
but the smile left your face
i thought you said you loved me why was it hard to trace
I was fading fast and losing consciencness starting to gasp for air
i droped my package on the floor and fell into the chair
I realized I was not alone when I looked to my right
a beautiful woman I could tell even with such dim light
you picked up my crushed box it’s Contents so clearly broken
so you shook it and threw it away, and this woman so soft spoken
“Honey maybe she need some water, I think she looks faint”
wait did she call you honey
this stranger I failed to acquaint
My once perfect container, barely recognizable
and I heard it’s last beat
“oh yeah, THIS is the woman of my dreams Dawn, I was hoping the two of you would meet”

Dawn Nilson Poem
The choices had I made the plans I had laid
only I could truly understand
the life I could see the person I would be
a life‘s a fit for kings would be grand
The wounds I felt the bruises I was dealt
I came out alive but I’m broken
It was at the cost my fantasy was lost
And my fairytale story only spoken
Instead I carry this pain and nevr took a mans name
my unfulfilled Hopes are just words
No baby to love no husband to speak of
the heart I carry is so destroyed it hurts
I am begging God to forgive if this life I can’t live
since these tears bleed beyond my skill
I need to go on all my strength has now gone
if you don’t love me by now you never will
please tell them I was great even if you really feel hate
since I tried my best to be strong
I was told I have failed I guess I couldn’t prevail
Please don’t forget about me now that I’m gone.
