Your dry eyes haze and your temperature soars.../ ..
That sharp surge pulses through you.../ ..
Fail to notice that your firsts are clenched... / ..
Ready. Waiting for him... / ..
Palms burn with anxiety... / ..
Your body stings with palpitations... / ..
Heartbeatbaton strikes your drum of a chest... / ..
That macabre sound of war... / ..
Do or die.
Fight or fly... / ..
Those pants of insanity escape your gritted teeth... / ..
You dare him to push you... / ..
You’re waiting for him this time... / ..
Go on... / ..Do it... / .. /./. /. /. /. /
Stop-him-at-any-cost.
Lunge like a lioness in defence.
Snarl and growl in defiance.
Stare down your enemy.
Glare while he slinks away.
Like a snake among the grass.
Watch yourself from your seat in disbelief.
Control dismissed
Rationality on hold
It’s over... / ..
He’s gone... / ..
For now... / ..
