a poem of a dream that turned out to be much too real

A Final Bow 

The cold feel of steel against my brow, 

My heart's beating faster now. 

I hear a voice beside me say, 

"Get ready to say goodbye now, 

And give the world a final bow." 

I could almost hear the trigger being squeezed, 

And for some reason, my tensions eased. 

With the blast, my eyes shot open. 

It was all a dream, I was hopin'. 

At first, I was sure it had all been dreamed, 

But it was proved not to be what it had seemed. 

I heard the sound beside my bed, 

And the cold feel of steel against my head. 

My dream was suddenly much too real, 

This guy really planned to kill. 

And again, I heard the voice beside me say, 

"Get ready to say goodbye now, 

And give the world a final bow."
