calling out to the darkness

Please don't question your existence in relation to me.

They say you can't feel pain in dreams. That's not true. I can see, I can feel, I can taste.
When I pinch myself, it hurts but I don't feel reassured.

But when your skin is between my teeth and I nip and pull, I see your reaction; that look in your eyes, that moment, I know that isn't my imagination. You are real.
