D R E A M S
Yesterday a joyful day to wed my man of dreams;
today a day of nightmares, he’s not what first he seemed.
I married Dr. Jekyll but uncovered Mr. Hyde;
there does not seem an end to this roller coaster ride.
Constant is the shifting to hatefulness and worse;
barbs that pierce my very soul within each angry curse.
Living by the moment, clinging to the cross;
I weep for what I thought once was, illusions ever lost.
Today my dream man visits me when I am wide awake;
the guise of loving husband is the form that he will take.
Tomorrow comes the nightmare I do not wish to face;
with raging horrid words that my mind cannot erase.
To others who surround us he seems the average guy;
no one e’er suspects what teems and writhes inside.
So which will be the one that I awaken to today?
Please let it be the dream, this fervently I pray.
