I curled up on my bed
Staring into space
So blank and devoid of emotions
Killing Jess was just a mistake
I thought as I drifted off to sleep
As I stirred ,I felt something
Nudging my arms
In an attempt to wake me up
I opened my eyes
Just in time
To a full view of Jessica
Dressed in a blood stained gown
The knife still stuck in her stomach
Just as I had done it
I wanted to run,scream and beg for mercy all at the same time
She covered my mouth with her blood stained hands
I remember where those came from too
As I had stuck the knife in her stomach
She pressed her hands on it to stop the blood from flowing
Seems it didn't help much
With her hands still on my lips
She gave me a threatened look urging me to be quiet
I closed my eyes, praying it wasn't real
Pinching and hitting myself to wake up
Then,i couldn't feel her hands on my lips again
Jessica turned into a bird
Not just a bird,a mythical one
A phoenix
It was just as described by my uncle during our bedtime stories
Colourful and vibrant
A colour that stands out amongst other birds
With a partly red and a partly golden colour
Its Size just like that of an eagle
As it stared at me
I shivered in silence
Hoping for it to kill and roast me
Just as she loves her food
Rather it spread it wings and flew away
Straight into the temple of the sun
I watched in awe
Still scared but also amazed
As she build her nest of spices right on the temple
Waiting for the sun to ignite the nest
As it nestled,still staring at me
Waiting silently to be reborn through flames
It came just as expected
The sun igniting both the nest and the Phoenix
As it roared and roared
All i saw was red,then Jessica
With a wicked smile plastered on her damaged face
The flames all over her body
I had to do something
I wanted to leave
All I could do was scream
I opened my eyes in an instant
I was still curled up on my bed
Sweating profusely
With the moon perched perfectly in the sky
Just outside my room window
I couldn't help but to cry
I knew what the dream indicates
My past is going to haunt me
Just because I killed Jessica
For kissing my Dad on the lips.
