It's Getting Harder To Breathe

There's a guy at work
He's such  a freak
When he's in my
Vicinity 
It's getting harder
and harder to
BREATHE 
I mean
Something is definitely 
wrong, no maybe(s)
When he's in my
Vacinity
It's getting harder
and harder to
BREATHE 
Theres anger under
his cloths, seething
When he's in my
Vicinity
It's getting harder
and harder to
BREATHE
He undressed it
for me  verbally
When he's in my
Vicinity
It's getting harder
and harder to
BREATHE
Somethings snapping
with his sanity
When he's in my
Vicinity
It's getting harder
and harder to
BREATHE
I think, soon 
gone he'll be
It's getting easier
and easier to
BREATHE 
A sigh of relief
If he stays
I will suffocate
When he is in my
Vicinity
It's getting harder
and harder to
BREATHE
