When I dreamt of you
two nights ago
it made me sick
I wondered if
the sickness made
me think, and therefore
dream of you
I am not sure
But then this terrible news
I am told
You will be soon
in my midst again
if only for a short time
Please god
let the dream
be a memory
not a prophecy
Stop invading my sleep!
It has been so long
and I was so well
to be rid of you
I’m left only hoping
it isn’t only dreams,
but that nightmares also
Don’t come true….

Ah, yes. I know this feeling all too well. Great poem!
Thank you!! I’m sorry to hear you – or anyone else – knows this type of feeling well because it is so damn disturbing and uncomfortable to feel, but thank you so much for reading and commenting and for the fellow feeling!! 🙂
Powerful! It’s like I can feel the hatred toward this other person, this being. Great job describing how this particular person keeps popping up in your dreams. Ahh nerve-wracking! Jeepers-creepers! 🙂
Thank you! Yes, it is creepy. I still feel sick thinking about it days later but I thought writing the poem could exorcise that a bit. Its like a form of PTSD with regard to this individual. I guess we all have those sort of people in our lives sometimes and they leave an indelible, dark mark on our psyche.
very dark. i like the poem and hope all goes well for ya.
Thank you!! 🙂
I know this feeling well. When some dreams have tendencies to appear in real life, they are all under suspicion.
Yes, there’s a fine line between bad memories surfacing as dreams and prophecy….I hope not to cross that line this time! 🙂
i hope for you, as well! positive energy sent your way.
Some people you live to remember, some people you live to forget. Hope this does not become a recurrence. Well wishes for a peace of mind.
Very well put! Thank you for your support!! 🙂
Omen? Or precursor…hopefully none.
Absolutely…I’ll go for the ‘none’ option, just some detritus hanging around in my brain from the past hopefully!!! Fingers crossed! 🙂
