a forgotten dream
i wake in a cold sweat
body trembling
from a forgotten dream
perhaps it was of
a loved one leaving,
a terrible situation,
a threat or a deep pain.
no use worrying
for it has left me,
my memory erased
like a whiteboard--
a clean slate
as i lay back i think
of more forgotten things
and pieces of life
that have fallen, hopeless
to the sands of time
i think of myself
when i was young.
did she know her dreams
would be so easily forgotten?
for a nightmare is fleeting,
but a dream should be remembered--
yet it is gone,
my hopes and aspirations
have died a thousand times
to my mind,
and a million more times to the minds of others.
