Darkness

My eyes see nothing.

My ears hear nothing.

I taste nothing.

I smell nothing.

But I feel something.

My heart beats faster.

My lungs expand and collapse rapidly.

Sweat trickles down my back like an icy finger.

Goosebumps sprout from my flesh.

But then I feel a warm pressure on my back.

I inhale deeply and smell the warm scent of flowers.

I close my eyes and control my breathing.

In...Out...In...Out

The goosebumps go away.

My heart rate slows.

I open my eyes once more and,

My eyes see nothing.

My ears hear nothing.

I taste nothing.

But I smell flowers

And I feel warm.

I feel safe.

Because I know you're here.

I am 21 years or older.
