Relief

A warped dream
An absurd dream
Pillow soaked in sweat
Eyes adjusted and I
Breathed,
'Thank god, thank fucking god'
Relief sliced through.

It was of a marriage,
An hour away
To being hitched
To an awful man.
A man of anger
A man of selfish desires.
He had my love
Once,
Threw it away..

With joy,
I want to cry from utter and total relief...
