Tonight, I dreamed of killing someone While lying, awake, in my bed. I grabbed at his neck, And bruised up his flesh- My hands shook, as I wanted him dead. I tore at his eyes, I called out his lies, And now here I am breaking lead. I bit at his wrists, As his hands turned to fists From the anger his body was fed. Tonight, I dreamed of killing someone Who failed his attempt at controlling me. So I picked up this book, And the red lights I took, And stopped the shaking with poetry.
