I had a dream

Today……

I had a dream this morning. 

It was terrible. 

I woke up in a panicked sweat; moaning. 

It was the first time I spoke of it.  No one would listen to me.  She told me she didn’t believe me.  She only believed him.  My worst fears were coming true.  I cried uncontrollably. 

I should have remained silent. 

I was powerless. 

I was nothing. 

I should have remained silent.

A few days ago……

          I had a dream.

          It was terrible.

          I woke up with chest pains, rapid heartbeat, shaking, sweating; panic.

          I screamed at him to leave.  I told him he did not belong here. 

          He was coming for me.  He was not going to leave.

          My worst fears were coming true.  I could only scream NO!  Help would not come, because help would not know to come.  I was alone.

          I should have fought back.

          I was powerless.

          I was nothing.

          I should have fought back.

A few weeks ago……

          I had a dream.

          It was terrible.

          I woke up scared, sweating; crying.

          I saw him hovering over me.  I did not understand why.

          I realized he hated me.  He wanted to destroy me.

          My worst fears were coming true.  He finally figured out a way to do it and now he was here to end my life.

          I should have told someone; anyone.

          I was powerless.

          I was nothing.

          I should have told someone; anyone.
