I always longed for you
For you gave me rest from the busy world Assured me with safety and security
Embraced me with warmth and comfort Caressed me with such gentle hands
And whispered loving words.
Having you...
Is a good and a sweet dream.
But that was what I thought.
For after you gave me all the love,
And after I let my guard down
You finally showed your other self.
So, I started to avoid you.
For you gave me distress and misery
Tormented me with everything I feared
Strained me with horror and fear
Choked me with your ice cold hands
Told me dreadful and ghastly things
Having you...
Is a bad and bitter nightmare.
Knowing the other side of you
Made me woke up to reality.
You inflicted me with so much pain
So much fear that I felt my heart drumming against my chest.
So much that I tremble in remembering.
So, I left you.
I never thought that I could be scared,
Of you, that I liked
Of you that I longed for
I never thought that I'd be afraid,
Afraid of falling again,
Falling...
...asleep

When nightmares inspires you to write a poem. Oh well.
