I had The Dream yesterday.

The last time I had it was years ago.

The characters had grown up, the events had matured, but the ending was still the same.

I can still remember the dream

the events leading to it

the chase

the long rapier she held

the stab

I had always wondered

What if they didn't beg for my life,

What if that day, she was holding a rapier in real life,

Will I still be here typing this nonsense

I don't think so

And this dream had always made me cry

and today had been no exception

I need more then a carton of cigarettes

I need a hug.
