Good-Bye You

Something's different

this I am sure

memories of beauty

with sweet scents

to tempt and allure

I think I was dreaming

but, surely I'm wrong

there were no evil doers

no black shadows

singing Satan's song

Maybe I am dead

and it is heaven I saw

why just a brief moment

was it a cruel joke

or just Murphy's law

I'll go back to sleep

to see if it's true

but if I don't wake up

take care my friend

and, good-bye you

Author notes

As someone who has suffered night terrors her entire life the image you portray would throw me into shock am afraid, I would assume I had died if I was to have a beautiful dream.

Suzi,
This is beautiful and sad. I suffered night terrors must my life. Yet for some reason they stopped about 10 years ago, maybe due to good med's! LOL
Therefore I feel for you and truly understand.
TYou did a wonderful job writing this. It could be taken with many meanings.
Great work!
May you overcome them with grace.

I like the image you put up here set for this poem. It really set the tone. With night terrors, I can understand that you wouldn't have beautiful dreams. Those terrors are not good. Good luck in the contest
