My ear reminds me of snakes hissing, and any moment I feel you make a strike.
Like prey to your predator, I try to keep quiet in hopes to blend in but you still draw near.
There is nowhere I can hide, and at this moment, that is all I want to do.
To have one moment of quietness
To be able to hear my thoughts without your whispers coming through.
I’m beginning to wonder if you’re tracking me as I see you once again.
But before you see me, I turn around and escape with the last bit of my sanity.
