Stop the dreams

I don't want to dream about you

I don't want to see your sweet face in my slumber

I don't want you to haunt my mind

 

I have told people I don't care about you anymore

I have told myself that I am ready to move on

I have told you that you no longer matter to me

 

But at night in my sleep

I see you.

I see your face and hear your voice

And it all melts away

 

All the pain you caused me

All the tears you made me cry

All the suffering I went through for you

It all vanishes

 

I don't want you in my dreams

I don't want to see your smile in my thoughts

I don't want to see your face when I close my eyes

 

But every night I see you

I see your face

I hear your voice

 

Do I still love you?

Or dose the memory of you haunt me?

I wish I knew

So I could stop the dreams

I think you are just processing the end of your relationship. In other words your subconcious is trying to move-on. It's a good thing believe it or not. Great poem that will bring great healing to other readers.

Dreams are currently wrecking my very existance as well. This piece reminds me of one of my favourite song 'my immortal' by evanescense. You should check it out. Thnaks for sharing.

Dreams are hard to stop. Young heart is last to know there was a dead end road. The poem is very good. I could the desire to escape a memory. A powerful poem. I like the ending.

This is something I can relate to as well. I too have had dreams where someone I'm trying to forget shows up. If there was only a way we could control what we dream, sleeping would be much much easier. LOL! But great poem! I really like it! Good job! :0)

I had a dream I was being eaten, I'd wake up and does off, wake up and there it was again this happened at least 10 times. It felt so real. But I understand this I have memories I hate that I'm scared will come back to haunt me. Nice job!
