Hey
I didn't realize this was
What it's like
Sitting
Next to you
And you're trembling
It's quiet
You know,
Your boyfriend came to get me
Told me in a hushed voice
"[She's] having an anxiety attack"
I paled
I should've researched what to do
But I sat there
Next to you
He handed you a rabbit
I remember you giggled
When it tried to eat your necklace
It was quiet
Soft smiles and trembling
I couldn't help you
I didn't know how to reach you
I didn't know that this
This is what it's like
I've seen this
Quiet
Trembling
Deep gasping breaths for air
That doesn't help
Quiet
Thinking
(I have to go)
(I've had this)
(I had gotten worse)
(Panic attacks)
(Anxiety attacks?)
I feel like sobbing
It's quiet
You smile
We both pet the rabbit
You stop trembling
I don't.

My friend had a really bad anxiety attack recently and I just remember watching her and thinking "if this is really bad, then what are mine?"
