Just a Nightmare…
Just a Nightmare…
He is just a delusion I cannot understand
He is the arguments Iclench with my last snuffles
these things
they've been said in the past
these difference of opinion are probably not my own
I am not the first to transcribe these emotions
yet
I am the first to sense them
so it looks as if
I need to be more than a woman with simplyverses
a woman innocent enough to have faith in that I can be just that
I need to be what herequires
not what hehungers for
I need him to sense me the way Isense him
eagerly with every breathe in and breathe out
passing through this entry
that sculpts these verses into rhymes
cautiously and elegantly
He must have me
even if he doesn'trecognize it,nonetheless
not all is like it should be
Heneeds me to bebeautiful
I am not what “he” callsbeautiful with the vaulted back and expanded front
He needs me to be laid-back
but then again I am not what “he” callslaid-back
keeping concealed what was preordained for your eyes merely
up to heneededshattered
I'm not up for his playing games,
from time to time a little spades but not if my soul is the game sheet
Nonetheless, until he comes to the his senses, He is just a nightmare.
