woke up
in a cold sweat again
theses nightmares
are killing me
I grab for her hand
but her fingers
slip from my grasp
then flames rise
and consume her
no wait
I’m thirteen again
tying a rope
around my neck
then I see him
gun at his head
I scream NO! !
Don’t do it
but he pulls the trigger
that's when I wake up
SCREAMING
