Serial Killer


Her pale naked body was sprawled
across the bathroom floor

She seemed so innocent and carefree
liked she'd finally found the peace
she’d always longed for

Was this a dream?
I felt...
I’d been there before

I attempted to move her
cause I really needed to pee
At first she wouldn’t budge
but when she did I noticed the blood
so much blood!

Her own dried blood had matted her
to the linoleum floor

Was this a dream?
I felt...
I’d been here before

I left that night
to the distant sounds of sirens screams

But she was still there...
Alone

At peace at last
with her lifeless stare
Laying dead cold
on the bathroom floor

Was it a dream?
I’m sure...
I’ve been here before

I know...
sometimes
when I’m all alone

These aren’t just dreams
and it’s all happened
many of times before
