Dream You'Ll Never Mention

Tell me Have you ever had a dream A dream where your own blood fell upon blue roses And you fell through the ground as petals floated on the wind Tangling in your hair Red and blue rotting jewels The thick smell of old blood at the bottom of your own well A dream where your heart felt the impact before the rest of you And stopped for just a moment Cold in your chest with the realization of death And woke up And then you cried It didn’t change your life or the way you acted It did not make you stop your closed door ritual Or throw your kit away It scared you so bad, and yet You never told another soul about your dream Or what lies just beneath you tattered sleeves and ragged jeans You want and do not want to be saved, for someone to know Tell me Have you ever lived a nightmare You didn’t know how to escape?
