Feeling the Fear
I can feel the walls closing in ...
I’m so afraid
of the pulmonary crumbling
The glass ceiling is falling,
shattered expectations of a jagged relation
pierces my Peter Parker abdomen
Serrated intimacy
got a crimson cold carotid end
I don’t jugular know when the heart attacks began
Such visceral fear got my mind churning,
tense spider senses has my skin crawling
I guess boo neglect is a veiled negligee sin
This panic room ain’t safe
to fall asleep in ... too much suffocating pillow anxiety
I fear for my emotional sanity
And the coffin walls keep closer inching,
as the worms of guilt start feasting
Got dynamite claustrophobia fear of an aorta cave in
I’m feeling the fear of losing you
in the twilight nightshade —
Shuttered windows ... bed unmade
I’m so afraid,
deathly afraid
Feeling the tear squeeze of a zero g grave
I can’t breathe ... I can’t move
Excruciating pain is closing the lid of my void eyes
Premature hearse ride is the fear of being buried alive
My body felt the crushing darkness,
when I saw the front door never again opening
Love left me ... now I’m feeling soul empty
I’m so scared and shuddering,
the pulse walls have slammed four closed all hope
And my cell has fell dead silent
Dedicated to my beloved friend, Kee
