Bad Dream…
A bad dream...I count the weeks, days, the hours, the seconds since you left. I wait for signs that you are near.For whispers in my ear,For pictures on my screen. A light to flicker, The alarm to scream.

After my father took his life five years ago, I was completely devastated and broken. I cried rivers of tears until my eyes were so swollen that I could barely open them. For a few days following his death I hallucinated that birds were flying around in my house---and I was not on drugs.
