I Wish to Never Dream Again

I hate that you can't leave me alone.

I wish to never dream again.
I hate to see your face
where it is unwanted.
Haunting me as if I
cannot live and be free.
I wish to never dream again.
If it means that I never
remember the taste of your lips,
or your smile that I rarely saw.
I wish to never dream again.
If it means that every memory
of us never crosses my mind again.
Burned into my memory,
you have become an unwanted reminder.
I wish to never dream again.
If it means that I never have to
remember that I once loved you.
I wish to never dream again.
If it means the scar you left
upon my heart heals.

He put me through hell, so I broke his heart.

[The Refined Poet]

beautifully and truthfully written

You know I can relate to this piece. I think many can, but I am often haunted in dreams of past happiness lost. When dreams are so real you feel them, it is like losing someone all over again when they show up again in our dreams. A solemn reminder...

Nice Write!

A heartbreaking emotional read from the depths of heartache. A powerful and beautiful poem written from feelings many of us can relate to and never wish to go through let alone to again.

[Bard Constantine]

The raw emotion bleeds across the page, leaving the reader soaked in the heartache...

[Patches I'm not so new..]

Wow! Vitriolic this your hurt and your hate come across in this piece as plain as day. I hope this is a "fiction" because if it is not than you have been really hurt!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I wish to never dream again.
If it means that every memory
of us never crosses my mind again.

Oh my these lines alone are a force to be reckoned with... I can relate cause I have felt this way myself but never could I have said it like this.

[David W Moore III]

Very powerful. The hurt bleeds out of the page. And I know it's a silly cliche saying but there is truth in it. Better to have love and lost than to have never loved before. As the wound heals you will find someone else and those memories will become more fond than painful.
