Nightmares

True Story

Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever thought I could have

Gone.

Like snow, on a sudden spring morning.

Lost.

Like a heartbeat, loosing the little strength it has left.

Faded.

Because I can't handle the nightmares.

Not without you.

I pull myself from the sunken mattres I lay upon. Hurt and pain lay etched beneath my eyes.

I inhale shakily, trying to pull myself together.

Because I can't handle the nightmares.

Not without you.

Your words till ring in the air, and they stab, like shattered glass.

I can't breathe.

I can't stand, so I sink to my knees.

You can't be gone. After all this, you just can't.

And yet you are.

But I can't handle the nightmares.

Not without you.

Author's Note

So, I didn't know if this was a story or a poem, or something in between, so I clicked poem, because I'm in the mood for poems...*shrugs* :)

Reviews

[Initium]

I don't think this should be a poem. The feelings that are represented are too intense! I'd definitely like to see like, a short story maybe- something like that. A little bit more would be amazing.
Don't get me wrong, though. I really like it, and I can feel what the speaker feels.
