Space

The air in my lungs 

froze to ice when

your eyes locked with

mine.

Suddenly

nothing was fine

I was not fine

Who am I?

I lose myself when I see you

or rather

you take.

How much longer until 

I can be okay and

your presence 

holds no power?

Oxygen seems to be a myth

when you are

in my space

Get out. I 

never asked for you to be

here you invited yourself in

without consent.

When will you learn that

other people are not

your property? 

Ask

to come in next time so that

you can hear them 

say no.
