I Had a Dream

I have a dream
I know not even what it means
It haunts my life like a plague
Taunting me day by day
Relentless in its quest for madness
It implants in me a deepening sadness
I see a woman while I’m dreaming
I see her in a mirror while I’m sleeping
She calls to me as if pleading
I know not what I’m even seeing
But I know it has a darker meaning
I remember when the dream first came
But from that first night the dream was never the same
It changed as each dream passed
Everyone was darker then the last
At first I hadn’t noticed but then I saw her eyes
When it all began they were as bright as fireflies
A piercing green that looked into my soul
But now this time they’re frighteningly dull
They’ve grown darker as if she’s slipping away
If I only know what she always tried to say
I might be able to save her from that awful fate
I might be able to save her before it’s too late
I can no longer just merely wait
Wondering what will happen. What time? What date?
In my latest dream a single tear roles down her cheek
Like some china doll antique
She no longer tried to speak
Just stared at me with empty eyes
Giving up on her useless cries
I tried to reach her I tried to yell
She couldn’t hear me, I could tell
The mirror was some distant hell
Some twisted deranged carrousel
She just waved to me a final fairwell
Then started to fade like some illusionary spell
I awoke at that moment and covered in sweat
My face, my hands, my body was wet
I shook my head trying to forget
Trying to forget the green eyed Bruenett
Trying to ignore that feeling of regret
Knowing that just beyond my dreams lay a threat
Then I knew what I had to do
Any ideas? I had a few
The time for action was long over due
I thought of my dreams, I thought them through
Now Its nightfall I’m ready to go to that place
I’m ready to see that dark beautiful face
I close my eyes and darkness replaces light
I know what I must do tonight
I know what’s right
And if I must I will fight
I open my eyes and stare straight ahead
No need to explore
I’ve seen it all before
It doesn’t scare me anymore
Once again she looks at me and sheds a tear
She’s so close, she’s so near
She begins to fade and I fight like I have never done before
I just can’t take it anymore
I would help her, I had promised, I had swore
This is do or die, this is war
It was my own self that kept me from her
It was my dark side that kept me glued to this floor
I reach within and find that evil in my soul
I fight the ancient battle for control
Then suddenly I am released, I am free
Free from the enemy I couldn’t see
I lunge for the mirror and hit the glass
The world shatters, it happens so fast
Then once again I awake in my bed
I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with dread
Is it possible that she is dead?
I had hoped for success, had I failed instead?
Why hah things gone wrong, what didn’t I see?
The suddenly I hear a sigh right beside me
I turn and she is laying there sleeping with a smile
This couldn’t be, I must be in denial
She opens her eyes and she gazes up at me
And then I knew it had to be
Those green eyes and that wind like hair
Told me that she was truly there
And in those eyes I saw nothing but care
Should I speak, do I dare?
Should I utter a noise will she dissapear
She then said three words she had screamed before
She didn’t have to scream any more
Those three words echoed like waves on the shore
She looked at me and I knew all she had gone through
The she said..”I love you”
