Panic Attack

Panic Attack By Rick Rucker Anxiety, and a Panic Attack, A nightmare, I’d lost you, and couldn’t get you back! I awakened in a sweat, saw my Heart beating, Saw the last of my Life fleeting! I think I might have even yelled, A hint of your perfume I smelled. Now, That I’m awake, Thinking clearly, a breath I take. My heartbeat, back to normal pace, As I dream of your lovely face. What causes such ugly dreams, Full of tension, sometimes screams? Probably fear of impending loss, A possibility over which we gloss When we are awake, At night, a Fear we cannot shake! To reassure myself that I’m not alone, I almost dial you on the phone! In the morning, just after three, Oh, how mad you would be! I hope You never see, How much your loss would mean to me!
