i am stuck in a crowd and i cant get to you
i try to run but can barely walk
my hands grasping shoulder to shoulder trying to keep my self afloat
afloat in this ocean of faces, each feeling more and more like sharks gnawing at me
i beg my legs to kick to swim away from the sharp fatal teeth
but just as i can't run, i can't swim
my legs move in slow motion as i look for you
all around me there is chatter
people are talking and listening to each other
but no one can hear me
every one has blinders on blocking me out
i desperately look for you but i don't see you
i whisper to myself "where are you"
i scream your name and hear no reply
i can't even hear myself
my mind forms a haze
i look down to my hands and can't see them anymore
they are blocked by the fog
a fog of panic
of terror
i fear i won't wake up
i fear i have lost you
