based on a true story...

Requiem for A Dream

I dreamt of you last night.
You told me to call you anytime
All up on Facebook
And left your number!
For all my “friends” to see
So bold, so arrogant
So presumptuous.
Just like I liked it…
Professing your lust.
Adoration and love
from a distorted lens.
But I won this battle.

I threw up last night.
Abruptly awoken,
Feeling queasy,
That taste in my mouth
I swallow, it returns.
Won’t let me forget
Can't I just lay back down?

It’s 5 a.m.
Dash to the toilet
Just in time.
Violent release
and rejection of my last supper
Only rice and beans
But purging what else?
Damn that’s odd…

Sit on cold bathroom tile,
It’s 5:09.
Please let me be done.
No energy.
Can't do this again,
Just drained.
I rinse out my mouth.
What’s this really about?
Gargle cinnamint and spit.
A-ha!
And then I remember…
I just dreamt of you.
