A Dream Within a Dream

The face of an angel,
An angel plauged by death
The irony couldn't get much better.
Yet her very existance is something to marvel and admire.
I'm sure she had more important matters to deal with,
Yet she pushed me on when my doubts were high.
Embraced me when my spirits came low,
along with memories that will always be kept close to my heart.
There can never be a way I would ever be able to thank her
for all the time shared.
I often find myself wishing I wasn't so blind. Unafraid of harm but left terified by my own flaws.
Every day is another sigh exhaled by my breath wasted on self hatred.
A feeling of complete worthlessness, empty inside.
I wish I had been a better person to her considering all the trust she put in me and closeness shared between us.
I was afraid of falling again,
I set up a wall of deception to keep the inevetable shame away.
But in the end it still stood a faliure because the p ain's still here and now I'm by myself.
No one to speak to in the dead of night,
nobody to rest by my side till I'm consumed
by my dreams.

How you started this poem captivated me and how you ended it made me lose my breath. I love the line "nobody to rest by my side till I'm consumed
by my dreams."
This is excellent.

Love is never wasted, no matter how bad it ends up, because in those moments that you had with whoever the person, could only be viewed as priceless and if she is as plagued yet amazing as you say then she probably really appreciated you being there for her. I mean not all love is meant to last, but just know that things happen for a reason, always, and the two of you were meant to meet. Even though we're often left with pain and doubt in ourselves, we should always remember that the person we write about once loved us and maybe still does, just not in the way we would like them to. Idk, I'm trying to say don't think so negatively in yourself, because obviously you have an amazing talent that most people don't even dream of having. Also, like this title. A little tribute to Poe? hmmmm..? lol

`Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


simply amazing, better keep writing! also, VERY GOOD READ! ;D
