Nightmare

My face aches
Sadness overwhelms every inch of my body
Not knowing what’s going to happen
Bad images in my brain
Convincing myself he’s leaving
They all leave me
How do I stop these tears from staining, streaming
Down my pale cheeks?
Why God?
Are you letting this happen?
Finally found the only guy
Who loves me for me
And you are taking him away from me?
How am I suppose to live?
