Heavy presence

I can hear you creaking
Walking through the corridor
Thump thump thump
Is that me or your footsteps coming to the door
Hidden under the mattress
I can feel your presence
All I see is shadows
The air has a heavy essence

A haunting aroma
My skin feels like it’s crawling
Gripping the floor boards
My insides are tossing

I can taste the blood in my mouth
Chewing on the insides of my cheeks
Trying not to breathe
I can feel the bruises on my knees

Thump thump thump
I can feel myself shaking
Thump thump thump
The anxiety is painstaking
Thump thump thump
I can’t get a grip
Thump thump thump
My breathing skips
Thump thump thump
I’m about to scream
Thump thump thump
Your presence is extreme
