The Nightmare

I was walking down the pavement I seemed to be going through a rough patch I had to do some house payment But it seemed complicated I had to start from scratch The payment doing was in my mind When I saw a young man in my yard He seemed low, otherwise he was kind His attire made him seem like a security guard I watched him until he got close The walk seemed familiar though And his face didn't make sense You couldn't exactly tell his moods or emotions He took out a sharp knife and stabbed me several times I laid down there helpless and saw you heading our way And the most painful thing was that I saw you shaking hands with him
