Dreamcatcher

I dreamed about you yesterday,

I dreamed about the moments we shared

Trying to let what you said

Not affect me,

Because I dreamed of us

And what we could have been,

But that's only my dream

To be with you,

A dream that goes through the center

Your dreams about us

Are only lies

That get caught in

The web

I hope this nightmare

Of wanting you,

And needing you

Perish before I wake up

Because I'd like a happy dream

To take me out of my misery

Of ever wanting to be with you

Perish not parish my friend. Apart from my pickiness I loved the title and the poem, I have dream catches in all my bedrooms and love how you used them to pen this piece as your dreams of love pass through and the nightmare of his get caught and ensnared punished if you like for being lies. You always seem to find the words to express the ache untruths can bring. Keep em' coming

The first time I read through this I was distracted by the lack of periods. I couldn't tell where the sentences ended. Then I looked up if grammar rules actually apply to poetry and found out it's all up to whether or not the author wants to use them.

The second time I read this I ignored the lack of periods and actually grasped a meaning from it. It all makes sense when one remembers the title: Dreamcatcher.

I just found one plural/singular disagreement:
"I hope this nightmare . . . Perish before I wake up" -- either change " this nightmare" to " these nightmares" or change "Perish" to "Perishes."

Overall, I like it.

There's a dream catcher right above me right now! My dad gave it to me. :)
Can you tell I like the title of this poem? ;) This was quite interesting. Whether you had good reasons to write it or not, whether it related to you at all, or maybe it was all made up, it was good! I've never really read anything like this before. I like that it's about dreams. Dreaming (and having nightmares) kind of fascinates me in a way. Great job! :D

Dreams catchers can only stop bad dreams. Good dreams will haunt our life for a long time. I like the desire and how you ended this excellent poem.
