In a Dream

i heard you calling me in a dream

with your hands around my neck

you were asking me to speak

while stifling my breath

you were calling me all along

the words hang on my ears

skipping stones into a pond

i remember all these years

in a dream one night you were choking me

and now i can't wake up

i want to know where that came from

you were calling me by name

and asking me to speak

now i want to know how come

i heard you calling me in a dream

i woke up in a cold sweat

i don't know what it means

i just know i can't forget
