As the seconds of time cascaded
upon the floor in horrendous doom,
I could feel my breath cease and
fear implode in the room.

So devious in intent it turned out,
I hadn't even fathomed;

When exactly did this fear turn into an invisible companion, even the
hands of time couldn't clock
in its rhythm.
