Nightmare by Lady Siofra

Nightmare

Have you ever had a dream
not just any dream
but one that stays with you
It can be good or bad
yet it still haunts
i have a few that stand out
some more than others
like this dream i had list night
it starts out dark
and slowly enters light
not just like but color
and the first thing i see are bars
cold metal that i reach for
they are an arms length distance
sitting up i look about
discovering i’m behind them
not just that
but someone is on the other side
a figure
a tall shadowed figure
i peer deeper and see
its a woman
i can’t see my wardens face
but i know who she is
