A/N: Okay, I didn't really work on it, it's rather a natural swing over the keyboard, but I just felt like writing it down, once it was in my head. It is what Bree thinks when she gets to bed. Please review, I don't know whether there have been any poems walking around in "DH," maybe mine is the first one. Maybe you even like it. Don't critisize me too hard, I'm not Shakespeare. Thank you.


When the Curtain Falls

A poem about Bree's nights


When the curtain falls

And my head bents down

I hear my heart cry

Filling my ears with its disturbing sound


I lay my head on my pillow

The siren breaks my will

I turn, and turn and turn

And fall asleep to face the nightmare


The nightmare that comes at night

Not slightly as bad as the daily one

So I feel my tears running

And swallow all my pain


It's all about being perfect

That's what I have to tell myself

My siren rings and rings

But people smile


Someday this will be over

And my head will lay down to sleep

And by my grave

My husband will stand


Proud of his wive, he will smile

My daughter will cry

And say

"My mother was the best,"


Doesn't save me from my nightmares

But once in grave

I won't feel them anymore

I will smile


About my familiy

Having loved me

The way I have been

Every day.
