While lying in my bed,
He bites
and scratches
as he screams out my name.
Occasionally he'll kick me
and slap me in the face
I abruptly wake up
and want to smack him in the head.
He is moving like a maniac
I want to push him out my bed
and make a mental note to never sleep with him again
but then I calm down and remember
"crap"
He is just a kid
having a nightmare,
so I wrap him with a blanket like a mummy
and I breath out in relief as I push him to the side
and walk around the bed to sleep next to his mommy.
