Verse: Seizure

(This was inspired by the experiences of @miracles4ring14, but also based on something I have been witness to.)

breath
holds breath
captive

seizures
hold sway
with faraway stares

time
has no motion
in those moments

and no sound
or explanation
at all

it's just
something
that happens

instead
we wait
with bated breath

for you
to breathe again
before we attempt to.
