No one here to even care
In this dark, satanic place
Heart a beating, pulses race

Cold sweat trickles down my spine
Feel the fetid air, the grime
Waiting for I know not who
Eyes wide open, stuck like glue

Dare not breathe, my throat on fire
Feel like scraping of barbed wire
Wish that I could look behind
To the horror in my mind

Every night Images creep
In my thoughts instead of sleep
Waiting here throughout the night
'Til sanity greets morning light

Waiting here throughout the night

I have a colleague at work who suffers from this.
From the things he has said, you seem to have captured the feelings of frustration he has to put up with daily.

I'm here Ros..
I'm here.

This was laden with too much pain for you-
I hope you are alright.
Just know I'm here.

Great pain-

Yours truly-

Billy
