From Dream to Nightmare

In the silence of the night, memories whisper low,

We built our dreams on clouds, but how can this be so?

Once we danced in starlight, hearts entwined so tight,

Now the shadows linger where our love took flight.

Justice, we painted futures with colors bright and bold,

Laughter in the echoes, our love was pure gold.

But when the rain fell heavy, we buried our sweet child,

A moment turned to ashes, the grief became wild.

How could you turn your back when the storm clouds came?

Leaving me shattered, drowning in pain's blame.

We were warriors together, now it’s a fight alone,

The promises we whispered, now they’re ghosts in our home.

From a dream to a nightmare, how did we fall apart?

Once a fire burning brightly, now it’s ice in my heart.

You held me like I mattered, now you just push and shove,

How did we go from forever to this bitter end of love?

You brought her to my doorstep, just days after we buried our sweet Journee,

A knife twisted deeper, a wound that would not die.

You shook me in your anger, called me names just to hurt me,

Once a promise keeper, now just a broken fool.

Did you forget the laughter that rang from our walls?

The dreams we built together, now watch how it all falls.

I look for you in shadows, but you’ve faded from sight,

The man I thought I knew, lost in the endless night.

From a dream to a nightmare, how did we fall apart?

You were my everything, now you've frozen my heart.

Words that used to comfort now are daggers in the dark,

How did we go from forever to a flame turned to stark?

I’ll rise from the ashes, I won’t stay in despair,

Though you wrote our ending, I’ll find the strength to care.

For the love that we had, I’ll carry it with grace,

Through the pain and the sorrow, I’ll find my own place.

So this is my goodbye, I won’t play the fool,

I’ll reclaim my spirit, no longer your tool.

Justice, you were a chapter, but now I must be free,

From this dream turned nightmare, I’ll finally see me.
