"Nightmares"



	      watching realization dawn
	      was more painful than anticipated
	      seeing sunlight and shadow met and mingle,
	      each struggling for supremacy 
	      while pain contorted her familiar features

	      tears glimmered in her pain bruised eyes
	      and i watched as she surrendered to it
	      as the night to the coming day
	      it was like watching a mirror shatter in slow motion

	      i could feel her despair as if it were a physical thing,
	      a firewall of screaming anguish blazing in a confused
	      maelstrom of seething emotion
	      its virulent flames roaring unchecked,
	      licking at frayed, exposed nerves,
	      stripping away reason

	      naked pain
	      present, and consuming rolled over me
	      in dark waves
	      i was powerless to alter 
	      the consequences of my deceptions
	      again
