Nightmares

 Nightmares

I don’t sleep well. 

I have nightmares about you.
You try to kill me
I have to kill you

You are cheating on me

You are cheating on me
You cheat a lot

In many of my dreams, you’ve changed

I don’t know who you are

And in the dreams,

I’m always cleaning up some kind of mess
Packing up stuff
Going through drawers
Sifting, sifting
And you go on your merry way

And I’m stuck

I wake up sad and confused

I sift through to try to figure it out
Stuck

And you go on your merry way
