The Nightmare
By Murray Dunlap
In time, it would all be the same as a nightmare:
Faded, disjointed memory with no logic
No meaning
As it happened, however
It scared the life out of me
I became overly defensive
Overly fearful
But new love
New hope
In time, I would marry again, but not yet
A soul made to heal
Given time
All will
For the life of me
I cannot understand the nightmare
