First Crime

i dreamt i gave my bastard child up for adoption.
i dreamt of her head cut off with a small silver knife and
when i woke up from the dream i was sweaty and shaking.
"leave me out with the waste, this is not what i do..."
i was not so much scared at the flashing images as i was terrified of the honesty I saw in everything. it was not about the baby. it was not about the murder. in the dream, i saw everything clearly. the fear of commitment. the fear of being chained down. my white whale.
"its the wrong kind of place to be cheating on you..."
before i gave the infant up, i was so happy of it. an achievement. a miracle. but as with any achievement in my life, the novelty wore off and i was left bored with it. i got bored with the life i created. the prospect of boredom changed to fear of being routinary.
"is that all right with you? is that all right..."

fear of commitment.. sometimes people are miserable and unhappy because they 're afraid to break a promise, a commitment... isn't that crazy?

if you have a fear and doubt.. forget it..
