Shot

Text message in the middle of the night
I can't get proper control of my heartbeat and I'm hit all at once by cold and hot
What do you mean you nearly got shot?
Furthermore, how can you alert me to this fact via text message?
Try your phone but its going to voicemail
Panic sets in me on a huge scale
Re-read your message and it says your home safe
Ok, so things are kind of in their place but still...
I recall something of this type happened last year too
Maybe a lesson you didn't learn back then
But when?
I can't remember the last time I felt that kind of fear
Shit...
Had pretty much just dozed off but now all hopes of sleep are lost
STILL can't regulate the speed of my heart beat
Panic
Regret
Fear
Love
Need
Want
