Dream

I really wanted to dream but I couldn’t.

I was hoping that it would all go away in the morning.

The feeling of hopelessness he gave me was intoxicating.

I couldn’t breathe.

My chest felt heavier with every thought.

Of putting myself through this emotional hell again.

I just felt like I was the beautiful orchid.

That had just bloomed.

When nobody thought it would.

And in his presence.

Instead of making me flourish;

He made me wilt.
