Shattered Nightmare

Louisa Burgess
Past heartaches
headaches and twinges
of pain flash back

A tug and tearing
at my heart my head
and my soul left wondering

Dreams shattered
to be built back up from
darkness unbelievable

Wake up go away
from the nightmare so vile
and back to sleep

    I agree with John Mario's comment. It could come back -- but I hope not! You deserve peaceful sleep, my dear. I have endured my share of these too and sympathize with you.

    Somewhat haunting because the nightmare may repeat itself.
