I feel it behind me
I know something is there
It may be unfounded
but I fear for my welfare
?
It's just my imagination
Something of my mind's creation
?
The mantra has little effect
My heart goes on pounding, unchecked
?
Was that breathing I heard?
No, certainly not— that's absurd
I risk a quick glance
Leaving nothing to chance
?
It's just my imagination
Something of my mind's creation
?
There was something
That quickly vaporized
Fog...Mist...A ghost?
Something sinister somehow disguised?
?
It's just my imagination
Something of my mind's creation
?
My pace quickens
I vow never again to look back
A frenzy is building
Then, everything
goes
