Another Day

The scream was enough for neighbors to hear , 
The hairs on her arm didn't stand up 
Blood dripped slower and slower warm getting hot a little to fast 
Screams in her head were already there , she pinched herself to check if this real , his eyes rolled back trying to get a glimpse at her begging for her to stop , she looked back cold heartedly without blinking 
He swarmed and prayed like he meant it and said he was sorry for raping those girls , he prayed for forgiveness , he was lying 
She blinked and awoke in bed 
No blood , no cuts , no sign of a bad dream at all just a morning to stretch out and start another day
