last night I had a bad dream
in it I saw your face
you were with me, our friends,
and my whole family

some remark was made
and I left the room
you followed after
wanting to know

why I needed to say anything
we got into a yelling match
back and forth
you moved to hit me

and I backed away
down my stairs
scared to even look at you
and I realized something

that bad dream
is how it always was
one of us would say something
an emotional blow

and the other would be
too scared to do anything
backing away
until we hit a wall

you just found found a door
and slammed it in my face
so I sat alone
until finally I found my door

I went through and locked it
now I'll never go back
for I'm too afraid
to ever see you the same

last night I had a bad dream
and I woke up
