He's held down by a schedule
never failing to make it here on time
He only comes in when the sun is down and the lights are off
and when the door is locked
He finds a way in the light peaking through the blinds
He slithers around my room, darker than the rest
He greets me right on the dot
It's my late night appointment,
and I wonder what I'll do, if I'm late to tomorrows
I picture my relations breaking
I see me failing
And he's made his way into bed with me
He's gripped around my neck like a choker and I lose my breath
I'm under attack
I roll over and see only a couple minutes had past
I remember that time the whole class laughed at me when I was 8
I recall that deep conversation I had when I was 13 and forgot to tell them
I relive the face she made when I told her I like her
Just keep breathing
Count to 10
Give the room 3 different adjectives
Identify five things in the room
But it's so god damn hard to when you have him crawling into your throat
You're dry heaving now, it burns trying to get him out through your eyes
2 hours have passed and you've gone over every scenario
You'll go over the ones you missed tomorrow
Time passes, and you pass out from exhaustion
