she comes in waves. there's never a warning, it's always a surprise. unable to breathe left wanting, in need of air - gasping. tired eyes clenched tight - it'll pass soon. in the meantime, i'm left drowning, waiting. like someone sitting on my chest a heaviness i can't catch my breath. it's a dizziness, a [...]
