-The Killer Inside-
Well, she believes that I'd be better off without her.
And she believes in me.
Well, she believes that time can make things right.
And I want to believe that there's been a change in me.
*******************
It was a new rule, she told herself. You don't answer the door, you don't fall asleep with the blinds open. You close your eyes only after there's a knife under your pillow.
You let your guard down only when you know you'll be safe.
When you know the ghosts aren't there, she told her mother.And that pleased her mother. It meant she was learning about herself...accepting her heritage.
******************
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.
******************
If she lies looking at the ceiling too long, she sees him. Sees his long arm reaching for her..cutting into her pale skin.
And that's when she sits up, and tries to comfort herself.Tell herself it's all in her head,she doesn't really see his face contorted in pain, the knife stuck in his back, hiding so many other meanings.
"I love you John.I just can't tell you"
*********************
The lights go down
And the clouds are building outside.
You close the door and turn the key,
But there's no place to hide.
**********************
And she didn't tell him about the nightmares, even
after he was walking down the halls where she had first laid eyes on him.
She didn't tell him about seeing his face in her dreams, the hidden meanings behind everything she saw, everything she felt.
Or how she slept with a knife under her pillow.
