It's late at night. Just getting
my baby girl to sleep. Crawling
into bed. Leaning against the head
bored. Homework on my lap. Studying
for my exams.
Hours pass and my eyes slowly
start to close. Drifting to sleep. Slowly
my body starts to slide under the covers.
The past comes back into my dreams. I want
to wake up but I can't
My head finally hits the pillow. I'm
tossing and turning. It's a nightmare
I want to wake up from. Waking up from
this horrible dream. I know that when I put
my head down my nightmare begins again.

This is true.
I was almost in
tears as I wrote it.

Girl, you are not alone! It'll be okay. I too had a nightmare not of my past, but it was scarey. And I had a dream about someone I thought I was over. It'll be okay. I'm here if you need me sweetie.
