Dreams of the Guillotine

Standing here at the guillotine

About to lose my head

The thought arrives that I’d rather be

Anywhere else than dead

*

I’m not sure how I got here

The reasons are quite confused

Regardless of the answer

I stand here as the accused

*

Passing out is not an option

As my troubles are indeed deep

Hopefully before blade meets neck

I can wake from this horrid sleep
