2007Last Night…

Last night
You came in my dream again.
With your broken voice
And your dying breath.
You woke me up to a night
That swallowed me whole
Like the snake
That swallowed my hen’s eggs.
You lost your way, you lost me too.
I looked for you in every ally
Every face, every voice,
Every stop, every start.
And then I looked for you inside my heart.
I found you there
Blind and scared
Whispering, whimpering
You tore me apart.
I took you from there
And threw you
Out in the cold
To suffer
In the long night
That wailed, outside my dream.
Now I feel the poison
You spread inside me
Slowly turning my blood black
Drop by drop.
I sit here thinking
It will happen
Tomorrow night
You’ll come in my dream again.
