Panic Attack
Panic Attack
By Rick Rucker
Anxiety, and a Panic Attack,
A nightmare, I’d lost you, and couldn’t get you back!
I awakened in a sweat, saw my Heart beating,
Saw the last of my Life fleeting!
I think I might have even yelled,
A hint of your perfume I smelled.
Now, That I’m awake,
Thinking clearly, a breath I take.
My heartbeat, back to normal pace,
As I dream of your lovely face.
What causes such ugly dreams,
Full of tension, sometimes screams?
Probably fear of impending loss,
A possibility over which we gloss
When we are awake,
At night, a Fear we cannot shake!
To reassure myself that I’m not alone,
I almost dial you on the phone!
In the morning, just after three,
Oh, how mad you would be!
I hope You never see,
How much your loss would mean to me!
