A sorrowful exploration of a relationship that proved to be destructive, instead blissful

A Nightmare In Disguise

I wish the day I met you
was only a dream gone wrong,
a shadow that vanished
with the break of dawn.

Instead, you were real,
and you carved your place deep,
turning promises to ashes,
turning trust into grief.

If only my eyes had stayed closed,
if only sleep had held me tight,
you'd be nothing but a nightmare
that faded with the night.
