I thought I saw you in a dream,
dragging me, willingly, through the deceptive death door.
It was a nightmare where you can't scream.

Magically materializing everywhere, like a sorcerer you seem,
lost in this life, a left over sliver of lore.
I thought I saw you in a dream.

Instant, intense electricity surging through every seam,
paralyzing pain careening from my core.
It was a nightmare where you can't scream.

Some cruel connection by fate I deem.
Impossible to look away, but too agonizing to hold eye contact anymore.
I thought I saw you in a dream.

If we ever completely collided, some central beam
of reality would crumble with shocked uproar.
It was a nightmare where you can't scream.

So let me drown, suffocate in the stream
of unrealistic thoughts that should have remained words burried under my floor.
I thought I saw you in a dream.
It was a nightmare where you can't scream.

We read our first villanelle in class, and we were challenged to go home and write one if we dared. They really are a nightmare to write haha, it took me about two hours.
