I Dreamt Of You Last Night
By Alex Snow
My brain betrays me
With dreams of you;
A love long gone,
A causality in the wake
Of my destruction.
Why now?
What is the purpose?
To remind me
Of the mistakes I’ve made?
The beauty I let
Slip through my fingers?
You are the regret I carry with me
Reminiscing on all that you are
And all you made me.
The purest thing my hands ever touched,
Terrifyingly so.
I wasn’t ready for you,
I wasn’t the man you needed me to be.
And now I’m left wondering
Why you still haunt my mind
From time to time.
Is there some plan
That is beyond me
Or is this just a reminder
To not take things for granted?
