I had a dream

You, me & an old stained park bench covered by the shade of surrounding trees.

Walking side by side, you feel odd & distant, I count all the cracks in the sidewalk.

Soft sounds of the surrounding lake lead us to the old chipped bridge.

We walk to the end of the deck & I stand on the edge, watching the water twinkle.

You whisper "I'm sorry" into my ear & as I turn around, your face is a blur.

You grab me by the neck & shove my body into the water with immense force.

I kick, scratch & scream, but your grasp only tightens, distant yelling of strangers.

I stop flailing about as I watch the sun grow brighter & bigger, gently warming my skin.

Muffled sirens aproach & your grasp loosens as I slowly sink, your face fades.

The bitter blast of cold I feel as my heart explodes under the pressure of the water.
