I see

as I rest my head In the mattress,

my body turns and I sleep head up,

my hands rest on my chest and I begin to dream,

I dream of a dark evil man,

sharp teeth and gooey hands,

he tends to hide next to my bed

like the boogey man,

he does not speak yet only stares,

it reflects a similar stare of a predator,

a focus lion ready to attack,

I his less harmful prey,

a newborn gazelle trying to begin to walk,

so he stares as to attack,

as I rest and lay again,

the room becomes a stone,

fire is everywhere screams are heard,

smoke and burned flesh are inserted through my nostrils

as I tend to block the smell,

his hands grasp my finger nails,

he separates them from my flesh,

razor to my chest,

opens my heart and takes what ever he can,

his nails cut the back of my ankles

for I cant walk

and react a scene of a drunk man

who can barely walk,

his eyes 1 cm away from mines,

I open my lips to scream,

he takes my breath,

veins erupting like volcano,

my mind reacts, I open my eyes,

find myself back in my room,

oh how good,

no more heat,

nor the stench of human flesh,

I look at my arms and legs not a trace,

hands on my neck,

what is this?

My rosario is not with me,

how can this be it never separates from me,

now unprotected,

as I stand up to look

for the form of protection my mind has,

I see a dark evil man,

sharp teeth and gooey hands,

he tends to hide next to my bed

like the boogey man,

he does not speak

yet only stares,

it reflects a similar stare of a predator,

a focus lion ready to attack
