The Dream

And the dream comes again The knife sticks out my side I lay there and I’m watching As my body slowly dies. The blood is lying everywhere And memories are a blur I haven’t felt much pain here And wonder if I’m hurt. Again he’s tried to kill me This time I think he wins And then I want to live again And I fight my death within. I will my body to obey I force my eyes to open And find myself in night from day The truth is that I’ve woken My tears are streaming down my face My being does the shakes And then I know it’s over now At least for one more day The clock keeps ticking slowly And I know that I’m alone It’s just a dream I tell myself There’s no one in my home I’ve survived another night I know But still I feel so doomed The trap is closing right around Next night it comes so soon. If ever you should find me My dreams reality Tell my kids I love them And hug my dog for me I’ll say goodbye to you all now In case this should come true My friends, my dog my family I’ve left you all too soon.
