Crying next to me

I woke up to the sound of her crying next to me

She didn't know because she was dreaming... still sleeping.... you see.

Thought to wake her to keep her from the pain

I didn't though, does that make me insane?

 

See I hurt her a while ago

With the things she should have but didn't know

About how.

I was. and am. and can't come back from now.

 

I wanted her to yearn for that moment again when she wakes to only us

The one where her eyes are so big....open....wide because

The dream is over and I am here

She is thankful and a new beginning is near.

 

See I hurt her a while ago

With the things she should have but didn't know

About how.

I was. And am. And can't come back from now.

 

She began to tell me about her dream

Where she was happy....happier...than she had ever been

She left me, left us behind

She walked away to somewhere to clear her mind

 

See I hurt her a while ago.

 

She said she tried

She tried to forget....move on...get over it

 

Those things she should have never known

I should have never thrown....it all away.

 

I wake to the sound of her crying in my dreams.....

Poignant yet elegantly penned, you truly do write from the bottom of your heart and your feelings are felt deeply in your words. Great job...keep it up.

This is very sad but extremely well written. Mistakes can ruin relationships, and sometimes they simply can't be forgiven. But we can learn from them. Good write!
