deep down

Deep down below the surface of everything I know
you are waiting
for me

To lead me
guide me
fill me

Yet I see darkness
and flashes
like a movie playing in hyper speed.

Everything
blurs
swirls
engulfs me
all at once.

I am lost

I am scared

I cannot stay

I know you're there but I sense too much
it's all in me
I cannot breathe.
