Red lights

 

I see the red lights.

Red eyes?

In the distance glaring.

Staring?

Are they getting nearer?

Is my vision becoming clearer?

I hear my breath catching.

animals scratching?

Or...

The words don't want to come out,

words don't want to play,

The words don't want to scream,

they are cowering in fear today.

Circling like raining thoughts

down the drain of bad dreams.

 

I see the glistening shine.

Is it moonlight on teeth?

Or just the reflection of light

from a dew dropped leaf?

For a second, fear subsides,

I laugh inside.

A stilted unsure chuckle,

as I still fear

there is something near.

my legs buckle,

the sounds still scuttle.

I sense danger,

a feeling that troubles.

I want to get away quick,

apprehension doubles.

 

I hear the sound,

shutters drop over eyes,

I hear the thud,

as my body crumples,

to the dirt and mud.

A hammer blow to the head.

I taste blood

dripping into the corners

of my mouth.

I see visions dance across

the corneas of my eyes.

I see...

The words don't want to say it.

They don't believe my eyes.

They pray it is all just a trick of the light.

But I know it. The figure looming in the dark.

It is you 

and you just plunged

a knife deep into my heart.
