dreams wouldn't feel so real.

i. dreaming.

my ribs feel like nails twisting into my bleeding heart. and i swear

there's muddy water flowing through my veins and rough rocks

have replaced my joints, because I feel so lifeless-- yet there's so

much pain. it all must be some kind of crazy dream.

ii. awaking.

my eyes flutter open, like a butterfly escaping its cocoon, so cautious

of what lies ahead. i wasn't expecting to see my bright green, pink

polka-dotted walls but rather a smooth wooden coffin resting deep

below the ground. it all took me by surprise, stealing the air from my

charcoal lungs and i could feel the fire starting to blaze.

 

wine red acid is burning my throat making it impossible to catch my breath.

gasping. gasping. gasping. my eyes, now the size of the moon glowing

in the midnight sky, rapidly scan my room. there's something crushing

my chest, driving the nails into my heart. my mouth opens to scream

but no words come out. my legs are numb, and my arms feel like they

don't exist. im suffocating in stale air and nobody's there to save me.

'it's just a dream.' my thoughts are pounding in my head like a million

raindrops falling quickly to the cement. the bangs vibrate my ear drums,

ringing my ears. 'it's just a dream.' yet everything feels and looks so real.

my tears are like diamonds as they scrape into my cheeks. ruby red

streams drip down my cheek bones and into the corner of my mouth;

the salty taste of tears and blood combined makes me gag and i'm

fighting to survive, still choking on the wine red acid. i'm trying to find

the strength to breathe, when it all suddenly hits me.

iii. reality.

you walked away from me, turning your back and leaving it all behind.

you completely took every part of me-- leaving me here to die; and

im paralyzed from the inside out.

    your imagery is beautiful.
    I've gotta say the background hurts my eyes though, and that probably takes away from the emotion of the poem.

    thanks for entering, love!
