impending

the same way
horses know a storm is brewing
does my heart know
trouble is near
The shadow over me
is as an unwanted house guest
I am not tough enough to
confront it and I fear
what might take its place.
An empty heart is
far worse than the 
anxiety that threatens to
overtake me now.
I want to feel that everything
will be all right
I want to know you
will always love me
I want to know you are still
my refuge from the world
My anxiety comes from the
knowledge that you don’t always get what you want.
