From Dream To Nightmare

I dream of a life that seem so far away. 
I dream of having a big house, a happy marriage 
and a lovely child. 
I dream of a life that is filled with happiness 
and hurt is but a myth to scare little kids.
I dream of all these things.
These dreams used to look real 
whenever I looked into his beautiful eyes.
I used to feel they coming true whenever 
we would share a kiss or whenever he 
would hold me in his safe arms.
I would hear them coming true 
every time we would tell each other 
how much we love one another.
But these dreams have turned into 
horrible nightmares that burn deeper 
into my brain every time I close my 
eyes and try to sleep. 
I don't see, hear, or even feel my
dreams coming true anymore.
I can only see, hear, and feel them 
slowly and painfully turning into 
a horrible nightmare.....
