Fear

I feel as if I am in a movie,
Everything around me is in black and white,
Where am I, what time period is it?
Am I dreaming?
It does not feel like a dream,
It feels all too real.

I hear faint whispers in the air,
"Is somebody there" I ask,
This place is nothing but a ghost town,
People long since gone,
Left uninhabitable by any creature.

I awake here by myself,
Must I remain here or something?
I cannot find my way back,
What will happen to me?
My loved ones?
Will I ever see them again?
My heart begins to ache,
I begin to panic,
The voices grow louder.

Speaking all at once, I cannot understand them,
Pain grips my mind,
"Stop it, shut up" I cry,
"I can't take it anymore,
I want to go home" I sob,
Falling to my knees I weep,
I think of the one I love,
Wanting to see her again,
To feel her touch and embrace,
A feeling that warms my heart,
Driving away my fear and sadness.

When I awaken I am in my bed,
"It was just a dream,
But it seemed so real",
I pick up the phone and call her,
Telling her of my dream.

She comes over and holds me tight,
Telling me that it will be alright,
"I am here for you forever,
Just think of me,
For there is nothing to fear,
Just call my name and I will come,
You can trust me,
My heart is yours".
