The friend that won’t leave

apete4010

You lurk

In the shadows

In the darkness

The hours betwixt sleep and awakening

Like an old friend you wrap your long bony fingers around me.

Tighter and tighter you grip me

The knot in the pit of my stomach never subsides

Everyday I whisper not today

You just smile your beautiful crooked smile and shrug

Anxiety you’ll never leave me.

Angelina Galeano
