antithesis of always (for never)

By Sky Singer

***author's note***
this all took place
IN A DREAM



uninvited...
...you crept
silently and secretly
into my
once pleasant dreams
transforming
them into
unspeakable
nightmares.
(your apparition haunts me still.)
i let you once
and let you twice
linger
in my head.
but never again,
never again...

undesired...
...you came
silently and secretly
back to me
and held me
in your
apathetic arms.
i shook myself
awake
from the
erroneous belief,
silently screaming
at the memories
of "happiness"
...the fiction of us...
...the fallacy we lived...
i loved you once
and loved you twice
but never again,
never again
will i let you creep
silently and secretly
back into my
heart
