Description:
This is all fairly self explanatory, but I suppose I could break it down a bit.
My closest best friend and I have recently fallen apart. A while back, maybe 4 months ago, I had a dream in which I was talking to him, questioning him about why he was so preoccupied lately and constantly blowing me off, and he just cuts me off mid-sentence and says, “I’m sorry, but I have someone else in my life right now who means more to me than you ever have.” To tell you the truth, that’s about the most hurtful thing he could have ever said to me, so when it happened in my dream, it tore me up pretty bad. After saying that to me, with little emotion in his voice, he roughly brushed past me and walked over to a girl leaning on a garnet-colored sports car. She was short, maybe about my height (5’2 ½ or 5’3) and she had blond hair, a petite figure, and a little candy-apple red dress on. When he reached her, they got in her car together and drove off. He didn’t even look back… not even once.
I woke up right after that, and I was already crying. It’s a thwarting and slightly uncanny experience when you come out of a dream like that, already broken and worried it’ll come true. I suppose this was more of a nightmare… or a premonition of sorts. I’ve had dreams that have come true in the past, but those were all simple… things that didn’t matter as much as this, with the exception of one or two of them.
Anyway, I confided in him that night, and just as I’d assumed he would, he claimed that such a thing would never happen. Even though I wanted to trust him, I had a lot of trouble doing so due to times in the past in which he’d royally fucked up. And, to my consternation, a few weeks ago he met a girl that I’ve heard looks almost exactly like the one in my dream, and since then, I’ve apparently been the least pressing engagement on his list of things to do.
So, just as I previously guessed, the dream I had actually held more truth than I wanted it to… and that’s why I wrote about it. Situations like this one are what drive me to write my life away, page after page, so that in the future I’ll be able to look back and remember, and hopefully prevent it from ever happening again. Life’s too short to experience such a pain more than once when you might be able to avoid it… |

"Garnet"
-------------------------------------------
it's early morning.
the sun still has yet to rise,
but my heart is already heavy in my chest.
still foggy from my dream,
i gaze around my shadowed room,
the memories painted on each wall in my mind,
and i'm unable to keep myself from drifting back into thought.
his face is there when my damp eyes flutter shut,
that guilty look i'd only imagined twisting his features,
those grey-blue eyes of his devoid of the love i once saw burning, only for me.
outside, i hear the trees rustling in the sleepy breeze,
the lazy sounds a pleasant backdrop of distraction,
but i tune reality out and focus once more on the image-
the one that haunts both my sleeping and waking dreams.
while i watch his gaze rove over my face before moving past me,
i feel my stomach knot in unease and realization.
as i turn, there stands the one who'd caught his attention.
she wears red well with her platinum blond hair and pale skin,
her small body slim and petite, much as mine,
but i feel no envy for her bland appearance;
it's the look i knew he was giving her that i coveted.
as she walked up behind us with that repulsive look on her face,
i turned on my heels to stare up at him, my eyes hollow;
i already knew, despite myself, what would happen next.
smiling broadly and unabashedly as he watched her,
the boy i'd loved so deeply brushed past me, even while i tried to speak, and went to her.
he left me to drop my eyes to my feet,
to fall down upon my knees on the cruel gravel,
as the girl in red took his hand and stole him from my life.
