Black
robe
with
a skull mask
emerges
from shade.
It's
me.
I
move in stealthy quiet of night,
methodically.
I
can hear you breathe.
Drawing
nearer
I
bring my face close
to
your's as you sleep.
I
watch you
through
my disguise
and
imagine all the times
I've
smiled
while
you've made me cringe.
Cold
chill stabs air
betraying
warmth.
It's
personal.
I
resent how
you've
broken your way
into
my head
like
a trespassing
dream
character
Pent
rage breaks loose
like
an angry beast
and
I slice through the illusion
of
my loyalty to you.
Dagger
punctures clean,
rips
while you dream,
first
cut; your throat,
...so no one hears you scream.
Next,
your heartbeat,
thrusting,
pushing,
twisting.
No
one is awake.
Warm
blood drips
from
the knife
on
blood-drenched sheets.
Adrenaline
tears in while
blood
pressure screams like sirens,
and
I lose the scene
wondering
what you dreamt... |
