Nightmare

I sat on the floor
And stared at the door
I waited for her to open it
So I could see her some more.

I waited and waited
But she did not come out
Did she change her mind?
I wanted to scream and shout.

But then I heard a creek
The door opened and revealed
The girl of my dreams
Suddenly all my wounds had healed.

She stood in her holy dress
The space around her seemed to glow
I smiled up at her
But on her face no smile was there to show.

She walked towards me
One small step at a time
The closer she came
The closer she was to being mine.

Then she leaned down
To touch my hair
My eyes shot open

It was just a nightmare.
