Untitled Word of the Day Poem #19

Have not slept a night through

there is an empty space

in my bed

where once you lay

always willing to pull me close

to kiss my brow

assure me all was right.

Dreams splintered

demons raging

monsters crashing in.

Curled in a corner

blankets over my head

repeating

only a dream 

only a dream

in hopes that they will go.

So smitten was I

with you

monster banishing

demon slaying

god like man.

I was on my knees before you

honoring you with prayers.

Wisp of smoke

fading in the air

locked in denial

screaming in rage

please come back

so I can gouge your eyes out.
