I saw you in my dreams last night
I can't believe you're still there
I know it was so long ago
but the pain's still there to bare

you were walking down a hallway
when you came up to me
you didn't have to say a word
your thoughts were clear to see

you had the look of anger
yet filled with laughter inside
you were like a lion
that had been caged too long with pride

I woke with tears in my eyes
wondering if you were right
if you didn't break me
why are you still with me at night?

What don't kill you can only make you stronger...

Hugs...I'm fighting a dream demon myself.
Thanks for this one, loved the picture unfolding as a dream does, fragmented and surreal...just like love, gone awry.

I know it doesn't sound like it? But I enjoyed this much.
