Nothing but a Dream
by Brandon Nelson
Life has taken its toll upon me My breathing deepens, my body starts to sweat uncontrollably I’ve come this far, I must finish what I have started I tighten the noose, because falling would be an even worse death I retrieve one last memory out of my soon to be ceased mind Its of her, the one I love, the one I’ve lost Its of the day she left me, the day I lost her forever I have never been the same since this day, nothing but a broken shell or maybe more like a heartless drone just living life because I have to Well not any more, this is the last breath I shall take I keep my eyes closed so that she is the last thing I see I take the deepest breath I have ever taken, then let my body fall from the tree The rope tightens, my breathing ceases, and then I pass out My heart beat stop, my being ceases I wake up and look around, there are people all around me they don’t seem to notice me tho, I get up and walk to a man I try to talk to him but he just ignores me I panic, I start to scream no one hears me, no one can see me Then I remember, I’m dead I finally realize what is going on, I’m at a funeral, one that belongs only to me I look around to see who is here I see my mom, my dad, my siblings and against all odds I see the one all of this was for her, the girl who said that she wanted nothing to do with me She is crying on my mommas shoulder Telling her that she would do anything to get me back All of this was in vain The clock hits 8, and goes off I open my eyes, Just to see the most beautiful person that has ever laid a foot on this planet But being that beautiful she cant be a human, she must be an angle Then it hits me, I‘m not dead, my being has not ceased and most importantly I still have her That means that all that just happened was nothing, Nothing but a dream |
