Nuptial Nightmare

I saw you walking down the aisle

You were wearing your mother's wedding dress

The distance between us seemed to go for miles

Once you were done with that matrimonial marathon

You walked up beside me and smiled

Then you turned toward my best friend

And recited those stolen vows to someone else

They're stolen because they belonged to me

I was supposed to be the receiver

You were the quarterback

But I don't know much about that football crap

A tear slipped down my face

The pain was too much to bear

From the nails on my toes to the follicles in my hair

Then I woke up.

You were beside me

Your chest rising

Falling

Rising

Falling

Then I realized that it was all a nightmare

Its rider trampling into my dreams
