and in my dream turned nightmare,
it took you throwing it all away
and losing this us beyond all hope,
to understand and realize
just what our love meant to you,
and what a precious gift, indeed it was,
but the revelation did not come,
til our world burned to the ground,
and all the ashes faded
into the nothingness
of the four winds
never to be seen again,
and you did hurt once more,
like you told yourself
you would never
let yourself again,
but only so much more
this time than ever before.
and my dream, it hurt me so,
and I tried and tried,
and tried and tried,
to wake into
the real world,
where such things
could never happen,
but I finally realized,
I could not wake up
from this nightmare,
for I was not asleep,
and I could not understand
what it was I ever in my life
did sow, to reap such a thing.
God, you got me good,
and made me pay the price,
for what, I do not know,
for the right thing
is all I ever tried
to do.
