where did you sleep last night?
in your own bed or the arms of another
trapped facing the corner
screams running through your mind

it's easy to do and it happens to the best
over and over and over
the emotions running over your chest
each a new kind of noise echoing
in your ears? in your soul
in your being through and through

your pale face, unrecognizable
Distraught
your mouth forms the words but they won't come out
You killed him! you killed him! you killed him!
blood on your hands, streaks on your face
Who? Who was he?
a young boy, no more than three
innocence, a feeling,
Where? Where is he?
I scream and I scream and I scream

and no sound comes out,
based on a dream
