Dreams or Nightmares

I wish it would stop, I no longer wish to see your face.

You are invading my dreams,

turning every dream to a nightmare.

The images invade my mind of you,

with her.

How does it still bother me?

 

It has been long enough,

you need to leave.

Leave my life and all my dreams.

I want to delete you from my life,

but I can't because first I would have to face the truth.

 

The truth I don't want to admit.

Admit that you are still in my dreams,

because I want you there.

I lie that they are nightmares,

that I don't want them. That,

you don't haunt my dreams.

I do that myself.

 

I haunt my dreams with wishes of you,

wishes you will come back.

 

Just your face in my dreams,

even standing next to her,

give me joy.

I wake with happy tears on my pillow.

The tears that make me wish you knew,

how I still felt.

 

I could not do that to you though,

because it is not just in my dreams

that you have someone new.

 

I cannot harm your happiness.

I love you too much.

 

So I will hold you in my dreams

letting the tears hit slowly

soaking into my pillow night after night.

I will do this until I find one too,

someone new to fill up my pillow.
