Nightmare

I'm still not over you
And I don't know what else I can do

I have burned pictures
with your memory.
Screamed curses and names at the wind.
Cried until my eyes sting.

But I'm still not over you.

I keep waiting, though I say not to,
because you said you'd come back.
So I waited
And am waiting still

It settled. I kissed another boy
And another after that.
Thought i'd forgotton you, this.

But, every night, when alone
I cling to my comfort blanket
Hoping you'll come back.
Like you said you would.

I wish I could drive this pen
thought the heart of me
to stop this pain.

Six months gone
And the happiness is still gone.
But I'm still in the nightmare
