One Breath...
Two breaths...
I hear something
Feet?
Sit in the corner
Don't make a sound
If you make yourself small
He won't notice you at all
One breath...
Two breath...
Slow breaths
Shallow breaths
Can't let him hear
I'm still here
I still hear his feet
Up the stairs
Shh...
Quiet
As a mouse
hide yourself behind the sound of this old house
One breath...
two breaths...
I hear him
Walking
Walking
Silence
Silence
hiding
hiding
I hear the door open
As I sit behind this closet door
One breath...
A sound of a pop
Then i breathe no more...
