I Have All These Things Going

I am much relieved,

my password evaded me,

so many years

we’ve lived together,

tapping into our lives.

The fear that ripped

through my mind,

was an impalement

in the brain.

A sudden urgency

to panic

overcame me,

thrust me into a spell.

Suddenly I discovered

the frail nature of our psyche,

how easily frozen

our lives may become.

Anxiety driven,

I chose to stay.
