They Are Only Dreams


 My eyes are closed. Head hanging, as if in shame. My hands and feet are bound by shackles. I'm breathing heavy, my heart feels like it's trying to escape my chest. Than there's fingers slipping under my chin, forcing my head up. I slowly open my eyes, to see brown eyes staring right back at me. Than the world's sideways. She slapped me. And I just let it happen. She's laughing at me, and I say nothing. Just stay down on the floor, blood all on my face.

 Than she kneels down next to me. Whispers the hurtful words in my ear. And slowly scraps her nails down my neck. I hiss in pain, she only laughs. She gets up and walks away from me. I sigh in loss. As if I want her to stay. Suddenly I am back on my knees, than another punch to the face. I spit out blood, and just smirk at her, challenging how far she'll go. And another, I chuckle.

 She steps back, looks directly into my eyes. She kicks me in the face.

 I wake up, out of breath. Sweat dripping down my face. She's always in my dreams, haunting me. I haven't been able to sleep a full night in months. I don't know how they happen. But they need to stop. She needs to get out of my head.
