Sliding Thoughts

Nightmares

the threat of separation
draws me in
to this nightmare realm
where I search
calling your name
there is an echo back…

this scenario has happened before
in a different situation
in my dreams.
I wait for you in the room
only to discover that someday
you will leave.

in my head these things reign
supreme over rational thought
I awake with pain and terror
spreading through my soul.
I reach out to find your presence
still lingering in my heart.

these dreams keep coming…
and I, a stranger to death
realize that this is my fear of
someday.

    IT should be noted that I was kidding.
    I’ve met both of your mothers, and they are both indeed plesant and generous people. They have very rarely, if at all, been Omens.
