Last night I dreamed that I was stabbed
I was on my side
Asleep
Almost
When I heard something
A shuffling, a creak, a sigh
And then I felt it
It-it didn’t hurt
It was
Cold
And then,
Then I felt the blood gush gushing out
A swirling waterfall of red pooling in my sheets
I tried to hold it in
Hold myself in
Keep my in in
But it was
Useless
I cried
And pleaded
But He came again
And again
My stomach
My chest –
I woke up
T-terrified
Alone
With a pain in my stomach that felt like hell
I felt so damn vulnerable
And alone
I’m so close to being gone
And my body is so ready
Even at night my mind is tick tick ticking
Ready
Waiting
Ready
