dreams

"break through my flesh" i dare
as he caresses the knife
with crazy, wild eyes, he obeys
the pain knocks me from my feet
a few mor bruises add to the sting
"is that all you go?" i teased, gasping
he grabs me by my hair
pulling me so i stand
my back as straight as nails
he's grinning
i can feel the heat of his breath
sliding down my skin
i feel him tracing shapes on my back
then, my throat is cut  in two
and im falling, dead and lifeless
free from all regret and angst
never again to feel you creeping
your touch, but
just as my skull smashes into the walkway
i awaken
plaged by thoughts
that kill me just the same
