Nightmare
I'm dreaming
When I hear screams.
They are not my screams.
They are a female's screams.
I bolt out of bed when I hear her.
Annie.
I run to her room.
I see her thrashing around in her bed.
She screams at things that aren't there.
She yells for them to stop.
I go over to her.
I put my hand on her shoulder.
She wakes up.
She looks around.
She sees me.
She starts to cry.
I feel sad.
I don't know why,
But I feel sad when she cries.
I like seeing her smile,
I like seeing her happy.
She's nice.
She's strong.
So she shouldn't be sad.
But she is.
And now I am.
