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...
