Wait

I watched the clock as it ticked by
slowly, painfully.
Fear and anxiety building up in my chest.
Did something happen?
Is he okay?
So many things run through my mind.
What if he passed out, like he did last time?
All I can see is him falling to the ground.....
lying on the floor, hopeless, and no one to care for him.
My eyes bulge, my heart accelerates.
I hope that I am not right.
But something in my gut is telling me
I am right.
Something scary and terrible takes over my mind.
What if? What if? Is all I can think of
But all I can do is wait.....
Wait for that one, hopeful, reassuring call.....
