Nightmare

by Mystyblu - Taurus

As I fall asleep
with your picture in my arms
next to my heart
I dream
of my beautiful cowboy

We are in a restuarant
eating dinner
I am so happy
sitting with you
talking to you
loving you

Dark clouds gather overhead
your bedroom blue eyes
become cold and cruel
your face
with those pearly whites
and wide grin
freezes like ice

I am terrified by this vision
what is happening
"You don't even know me, the real me"
why would you say that
of course I know you
I've read the interviews
seen the talk shows
imagined our conversations

You begin to talk
about the people at the next table
your words tell a hateful tale 
of bigotry
prejudice
malice
this cannot be
my perfect cowboy
sitting across from me
a man filled with hate

You continue 
ranting about the 
"pathetic women that clamor for your attention
ask you for a hug, a picture,an autograph"
scorn fills the air

Tears stream down my face
I don't know what to do
what to say
what to think

SLAP! 
your hand sweeps across my face
"Why the hell are you crying, bitch"
I am in total shock
I, I

Beep, beep, beep, beep
goes the alarm clock 
I jump up 
soaked with sweat
shaking with fear
realizing
it is only a nightmare

Or is it the truth?
