ALL IN A NIGHTS DREAM..

Moving as fast as my legs can take,
I run deeper into the hills meadows,
knowing the task i have to but undertake,
not wanting to return to the mental gallows.

 Forsaken i am by the mirror,
eternal pessimist i was called by his friend,
his future not secure till i was near,
this facade of being realistic had to but end.

 Heard him cursing himself the other day,
thought i saw a tear run down his cheek,
wondered if i really was keeping his success at bay,
giving him a big complex of inferiority.

 Deciding to rid him off the mental pain,
just as he slept, i lay awake,
retribution about to begin,
dragging him out for a final take.
 
Here i am running like a criminal,
ahead of the bloodhounds of my creation,
this deed of mine for once not met with denial,
consequences bright, of my latest action. 

Off the edge i leap,
push him back to the edge,
only then realizing that the slope is too steep,
one last time i glance up at his face,
assure now that my sacrifice is not in vain,
now that i see him smile as he begins to wake!!
