The Most Beautiful Nightmare
~h~
I hear birds singing.
I smell the lake.
I slowly open my eyes.
~e~
It's all just like I had imagined
dreamed since I first saw him.
~a~
We, I and him, lie on the ground middle of the flowers.
I don't know how I'm in this beautiful place,
heaven.
I don't care.
I'm just happy I'm there
with him.
~r~
He's holding me in his arms.
I'm happier than I've ever been.
I snuggle closer. I don't want to let him go.
He whispers "I love you, Rue"
in my ear.
~t~
I pull back just so I can see his eyes
His beautiful golden eyes are looking straight into my red ones.
~b~
"I have always loved you" I respond
smiling at him
knowing he can't really mean the things he's saying.
~r~
It's just what I've taught him to say.
the way to act.
~e~
Then he smiles with his white teeth
and I know this is only just a dream.
~a~
..just like millions of times before.
