lapse

wasting away slowly
by your side

in the middle of the darkness
i think i have lost you for a moment

i cannot breathe without my arm on your skin

jolting
i fall in this one-sided bareness
suddenly spinning
darkness wraps me closer
i envision emptiness
reality so quickly becomes questioned
and i feel panic
real and fast and waking me from my slumber
i am sucking in breath hard and fast
into my lungs until--

i am

caught softly
by my finger brushing your arm

solidity returns
