knife in hand

i woke up this morning with a knife in my hand

i walk down the hallway
they talk
i smile back
and nod
and that is all

i woke up and looked at the knife in my hand
where did it come from?

i am lost wherever i go
nowhere is home
everywhere is unknown
no one seems to follow me
maybe it is the wrong way

i realized today that i walk with a knife in hand
where did it come from?
i don't know

i am dreaming
with my eyes open
everything moves
but i do not
i am frozen in place
a terrible dream

i woke up this morning with a knife in my chest
where did it come from?
i don't know
i am afraid to ask
so i won't
