Broken Branches

I lie here not knowing if I’m awake or asleep


I quickly open my eyes to realize the reality I once knew no longer exist


I no longer exist


A darkness now consumes me


Leaving me just a shell of my former self


Evil and rage are now my only thoughts


Evil because my past has come back to haunt me


And rage because I cant change what has already been done


 


The hours and days pass


And the darkness gets deeper and darker


The evil continues to grow


As does the rage


I begin to hope this is just a nightmare


That I cant awake from


Or a daydream that is ongoing


Or I’m in limbo between life and death and this my punishment


 


This is my reality now


Afraid to close my eyes at night because of the Demons that haunt me


Afraid to open my eyes because I cant face myself


But this is who I am this is what I’ve become


 


Then I abruptly awake from this nightmare and shaken from my daydream


And my reality becomes clear


And I wonder if any of this or that was real


Is what we once had true


Was she ever real


I can’t make her real


She isn't real


She’s just a myth I once believed in
