“Nightmare in my head”


Twelve hours away Five hundred miles north Your day to my night Still I hear your voice Your fragrance lingers behind every corner Afraid to sleep Knowing what lies in my slumber Memory after memory Trapped in my head As thoughts of us surround Tightening by the day Room after room of baggage Sitting unanswered Looking out to the sky Pray for better days Only to find darkness Mirroring my soul Days passing in gray Searching for the color again So I lay in my chamber Waiting Waiting for what?

Every word in this poem is an extremely important component of the story you are trying to tell, and the reader can really understand your searching and confusion. My favorite lines are "Days passing in gray / Searching for the color again" because this gives such a vivid image and is full of emotion.
