Today’s poetry post was inspired by MLMM Monday Wordle #478 prompt. The prompt of words that inspired me to write the following poem are:
dream, touch, kind, calm, forehead, hand, cool, shared, picture, cheer, want, & before
I used all but two words in my poem. I hope you enjoy it!
Nightmare of Emotion
by Emily Rose

Last night I saw you in my dream
Waking up with feelings so extreme
Crying tears like never before
Grief and sorrow hard to ignore
Remembering your kiss on my forehead
I can’t help but feel misled
Thrown into a future I didn’t want
Still trying to act nonchalant
My heart has lost all its cheer
In time, will this pain disappear?
Boiling emotions should begin to cool
Thoughts should feel less cruel
Please come take my hand
Comfort and reassurance in high demand
Breathing deeply helps me to be calm
When racing thoughts explode like a bomb
Having faith that others will be kind
Heavy heart holding me behind
Humbly my nightmare I’ve shared
Emotions and painful memories declared
