The Jewel In My Dream

An old demon came and knocked on my door. Not knowing it was him I answered. He said "Hello, my friend." I stared and wondered why are you here? He came inside and laid on the table a jewel. It was beautiful. I once had it in my possession but it was taken from me. I must admit I wanted it again. I stood and looked upon it and I almost cried. Oh how I missed you my friend. I want to hold you. Touch you. Feel you wrapped around my heart once more. I reached out hesitantly. Pulled my hand back and forth several times. Do I want it again? What good will this do? I stopped and put my hands in my pockets. I needed all the strength I could muster. The demon became angry with me. "Take it!" He demanded. I just shook my head and said "No." He reluctantly picked up his jewel and headed for the door. I said, "Don't come back. I don't want you anymore." He turned and tempted once more and then he faded away as I awoke from my dream.

Oh how I wish these dreams would stop waking me from my sleep. I have moved on but when you appear again I doubt my strength. You nearly destroyed me but that has made me stronger. I am still weak but I know all things are possible. Just leave me be demons. Just leave me be.
