Anticipation

That creeping feeling that slides down your gut
It never ceases and only hastens
slipping ever deeper it delves into your fears
Writhing and wrapping its sickly body around your being
Its intent apparent in its motions
The pervaded motive behind its actions seething out

You move yet remain where you were
You can't escape the subtle movements
They bind and break you stilling your breath
You snap from the pressure and the audible cracks resonate
Your back bowes at your lack of will
Eyes darting ever searching, licking cracked lips

Everything lightens, spinning under scintillating specks
Eyes widen to capture that light, afraid of the darkness
Every muscle strained as you struggle to remain sane
The lights fade, your sight dims, Your muscles relax
Silence engulfs you, no longer certain, cynical of your reality
You argue and you scream, in that empty world you are nothing
