Blood Dream

Last night I dreamed it The terrible dream Don't forget it Never forget I can't forget The beggining's a blur Waiting for REM Then the part I remember At a college? Some school The streets are blocked off to cars out front People lounging in the street HE is there He's sitting near the crosswalk With some friends I'm with a friend too She's not real, but I dreamed her So she must be alright We're about to cross the crosswalk Out of habit I catch his eye Then the attack. First, my breath Stolen Barely breathing Then the shaking steals over me, that monster He turns away, uninterested with me I try to call out to him, to get him to see my pain Choke on the words. I cry a little, wipe away tears Mu hand comes back red Blood Streams now, running from the corners Of my eyes No pain now, just fear Stumble into the street Collapse on the cobblestones of the cross walk His back is to me, he doesn't see I want to say ''Look at me, look what you did to me!'' Can't World spins I pass out

Waking up in the infirmary Nurses tell me to take it easy I sneak to class when they leave He and his brother are in my class. Spanish class?? Try to talk. Can't. Just glare. They introduce themselve to the class. Must be the First day. Right. Others go. My turn. He doesn't notice. Neglected. Breathing, shaking. Again, but not so bad this time. Tell teacher I can wait to go get help. But I can't. Because then comes blood. From eyes, and mouth Try screaming for him to look. Nobody hears He doesn't see what he's caused. Doesn't see the way my eyes bleed. Doesn't see me.
