With a simple look, my breath is gone,
I can't seem to remember anything,
I know only that my heart is suspended
Feel only a long forgotten quaking in my knees.
I quiver with pain and panic,
like a story from my childhood,
reassuring and unthinkable in my life today.
Reality far from with me,
I recognize your face, voice,
A mirage? You step closer,
I back away.
How?  Like a dream, you speak
I have no control over anything.
