* I had a dream of my ex-husband a little bit ago.........this is exactly what it was like.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up from a dream of you
............shaken...............
it wasn't a nightmare
not exactly.........
just........twisted
you were so together
so nice.............. even gentle
you wanted me back in your life
it really spooked me
because you see..........
I remember........
I've felt your hate
with the back of your hand
connecting with my face
.......seen the cold fury
in your eyes
and I knew.........
You had no love for me
Dreaming of you being kind and loving
was terrifying
and really, very sad
because, even in dreams
I know
that's not how you are

A myriad of thoughts run through my mind after reading this. It does sound like you are good to be out of that situation. Well written piece. That's all I will say and suffice it to 'move on.'

Very powerful words and well written, its a human failing that we often only remember the good times in relationships and this can be a danger. Thanks for posting, take care.

Regards,
Olias.

and when you woke up from the nightmare...
lying next to you was a dream come true
and yes .. as you said...write it all out
and you did so in an emotionally charged
and releasing way
well done Sea-girlie
heres to sweet dreams

Strange ... the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.

Geez, that does sound scary. Of course, the consolation is that it will NEVER come true. ((((hugs))))

SEA,

There is so much power and strength in this. So happy to see you have moved on. Scary images.

Hey, just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who responded to this.
It was a painful time in my life, and sometimes, dreams make me remember....yes, it made me stronger.........taught me alot about myself, and what I will and will not accept in my life. Yes, my husband Jon is my dreams ( the happy ones) come true...he treats me VERY well. He's amazing. Thank you all for your caring sweet words.....it means the world to me. Hugs to each of you, SEA

And with the pen comes the therapy of soul and heart one word at a time with the wakening to a world of sweetness and love that is so well deserving. Wonderful pouring out my friend and as are the others, I am so happy to see you living in a world of love with whom we have all come to know as a very special man. You have shown that with your words and we just plain figured out on our own how special you are by reading in between the lines and sweet smiles.

Is horrible that you went thru this. But is wonderful that you express it in writing. I'm glad you're rid of him and found real love.

You dreamed of what you thought him to be
When you first offered your heart
But now you wake to reality
A happiness from which you won't part.

Your joy may have taken a while to find
But it lets you leave that past behind.

Big hugs, sweet SEA. *S*
