Nightmare

Grief

Where did we go wrong?
He's walking down the hallway.
He shoots the arrows, careful aim,
avoiding where the dead lay.
We all hide under tables,
behind doors and under desks.
We pray and beg for mercy,
we take in the bloody mess.
He walks through the rooms
putting arrows through the chests
of those who run or try to fight.
He gives no one a rest.
He sees a teacher far away
running for her life.
He points and shoots with deadly aim,
she falls--his eyes are bright.
I notice his reflection
in the glass built in the wall.
He's close behind--he sees me.
I get ready for the fall.
Fear is all I know
as he aims it at my back.
My body's frozen, eyes shut tight
so all I see is black.
Suddenly I feel it.
I'm surprised there is no pain.
The blood is warm as it pumps out.
He laughs like it's a game.
He walks away, I'm on the floor
pretending that I'm dead
so maybe I can run away
and stop this flow of red.
I hear their screams for him to stop,
but he won't until we die.
Girl tells boy she loves him
and I finally start to cry.
Get up, he's gone, I get away,
I run the maze of stairs.
I don't know where he's gone to
and I'm blindly running nowhere.
He's suddenly in front of me,
I know that this is it.
The fear becomes too much,
he aims and smiles....and it hits....

| This is so vivid! I could picture the whole thing while reading this. Chilling work. Thankfully, it was just a nightmare for you. Very good job with this poem. |
