I lie, waiting.
And it comes,
like always.

I can’t feel where I am
I’m spinning
Absolutely still
I can’t move
I can’t move
I can’t move

Once upon a time -
my heart would race -
tight in my chest with fear -
it’s here! they’re here!
He’s here. Watching.
and I can’t move!
Now it lies cold and motionless,
stilled in my chest with waiting,

And it slowly slips away.
And I slowly drift away...
