Closer
Sheer terror fills my eyes.
It's getting closer.
No one to hear my frightened shrill cries.
It's getting closer.
My breath sounding loud compared to the dreadful silence.
It's getting closer.
The amount of terror I have defying the laws of science.
It's getting closer.
My life flashes before my eyes as I lay down and cry.
It's getting closer.
The thought that I will be giving up all my dreams because I am going to die.
It's getting closer.
My heart feels like it has already stopped before I am even dead.
It's getting closer.
I feel the chills run down my spine like spiders crawling on a bed.
It's getting closer.
I shut my eyes and try to fall asleep.
It's getting closer.
My mind and dreams ooze out of my head that I thought I would always keep.
It's getting closer.
My body turns cold like the deep blue.
It's getting closer.
The thought of what it might try to do.
It's there.
