I tell myself to skip a heartbeat, then another one. I feel every little tread of braincell in concentrated tension, every pore opening wide with little drops of sweat. The hair in the back of my neck rising and a stream of blood rushes through my head as my heart catches up on the lost beats. I read the fear in your eyes and can see where his lightning stroke as thunder still is howling from your chest. I felt the wave of tears long before they hit you and embraced, as to catch the pieces of you before they crashed to the ground. You gasped for air I gasped for peace, forcing my blood back to the vain as I tuck my arms around you.
Hate is what I feel. Fear is what you feel.
