Last night I dreamt you were with me.
That you held me,
Loved me,
wanted me.
I could almost hear your voice,
feel your warmth,
and smell your cologn.
Last night I had a dream.
I watched you drive away,
You kissed me good-bye,
you told me to wait for you,
that you'd be right back.
So I waited.
An hour passed,
But I waited.
Two hours passed,
but still I waited.
The phone rang,
My eyes filled with tears.
Last night I had a Nightmare.
When I got there,
My eyes,
red,
swolen.
My heart,
pained,
torn,
broken.
As I looked through the window
I saw your truck,
crushed,
broken.
Last night I had a nightmare.
I went to the hospital.
Thinking of what I'd say,
What I'd do.
How you'd look.
Would I know it was you?
Last night I had a nightmare.
When I got there
it was a little to late.
You were gone.
"I'm sure it was an accident, and what could he have done?
I'm sorry for your loss" the doctor said.
Last night I had a nightmare.
You were gone.
Taking my heart,
my soul,
my love,
and my joy with you.
"What did I do wrong?"
I asked God.
If only,
You'd taken the time to think about all you had,
Everyone who loved you,
and what might happen.
The speed limit said 50,
You were going 80.
But I will wait.
Last night I had a nightmare.
I dreamt that I lost you.
I just wish you knew,
that when you speed,
you hurt me.
So many times I've begged,
So many times I've plead,
that you'd think of me before you speed.
For I need to know that you are safe.
Last night I had a nightmare.
One I've had many times before.
Now I pray for the day,
that you'll think before you speed.
Till then I will wait.
Author notes
I wrot this because of all the nightmares I've had of My boyfriend Johnathan speeding. He always seems to go faster than the speed limit, and it scares me to death. I love him so much, and constantly worry about him. I guess I'm scared to lose him.

This is well writte. Too many lives are lost because of the need for speed. I admit, sometimes I fall victim to it, but it always helps to think one jump ahead and focus on what's more important.

When you seed? Is that suppose to be speed?
I understand the emotion in this poem, the fact that you had a nightmare about loosing your love...however, and sadly I must say I don't feel the love, know how you act or anything. Perhaps if you add a little background...[flashbacks] then I can relate better...remember IMPACT!!!
Thank you and good luck. I'm being tentative, but welcome to the FINALIST list. -
exactly that what you have written is exactly what i am feeling. My boyfriend died almost 8 weeks ago in a fatal crash, due to speeding. Just never take anything for granted, spend all the time you can with the people you love because if you don't then you'll regret it. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
Nicely written.

we're all afraid to lose the ones we love. and speed, its a beautiful thing, its somes addiction and they dont even realize it. does he know it bothers you?
i hope he continues to be okay and nothing does happen to him. i can see the love in your poem for him, i hope you never have to lose him.
♥.love.

Thanks for the comment. Yea he knew it bothered me, I let him know it daily. He said he did it cause it made him feel alive. We broke up two weeks ago, after I found out that he was deppressed. I still love him, but he says this is something he will have to work out on his own. Thanks though. ~Stormy~

Oh!
This really makes you think. I loved it. It leaves you feeling and gives you a moral. The repetition of 'nightmare' is great. I just like repetition. I don't know why. I like how you added, "I'm sorry for your loss" the doctor said." So awesome! Did you show your boyfriend this poem? You must really love him. Way to put your fears down on paper.
