I feel him with me,
Moving, breathing,
In sync.
Thoughts slither in my head,
Coiling around my throat,
Dripping venom in my eyes.
I’m scared.
I can’t make them go away.
Stop.
I feel his eyes on me,
They’re flowing with concern.
So he holds me,
Telling me it’s okay.
He’s here for me,
Forever.
But I need him now.
Don’t let go.
