You were in a small box like room, alone. There you stood with your hands on the sink, body leaned into the mirror. And what started as a whisper, slowly grew louder. With that look on your face, I knew what you were telling yourself wasn't good. You stared angrily, beginning to yell. You hated yourself. You were screaming at the person in the mirror looking back at you. Then you were jumping around the room, under some sort of rage. My vision focused on your face, to your hands coming into sight with an electric razor, the kind you cut hair with. You took it to your neck, and I felt the tension in my dream shatter. I heard your screams, they echoed until my sight came back. You were propped against the wall, lifeless. Your body relaxed, as a single bone protruded from your shoulders, the crimson on it consuming the white. Blood stained your shirt, as well as the wall behind you. Then my vision froze, I stared your chest inhaling and exhaling, I thought, how is he breathing? Then you were walking away, shoulders oddly tense. My hand reached out to touch yours, but no movement came from you. Eventually you turned back I noticed the shape of your head, unevenly placed on your body. You wore the face something like a doll, some creature wearing a painted on smile. Red from ear to ear. And eyes so flat, I woke up trying to get the image out of my head.
