i dreamt a dream of love
the night before last.
with you as the leading role
and i, your loyal love.
wrapped in your embrace,
i weeped,
and you were there to wipe the tears.
i was warm and happy.
it was me and you against the world,
as they would say.
bodies intertwined,
we were sure our love would last.
but i awoke
to the realization of the nightmare that it was,
invading my brain,
leaving me with the false hope
of love everlasting.
because darling,
i am not safe in your arms.
you left me for a brighter future
but who am i to blame you,
i would’ve left me too.
