Heart beats a little faster
A little harder
I can hear it in my ears
Feel it in my chest
It makes me catch my breath
Palms are sweaty
Fists clenched
I struggle to keep my hands still
Tap my fingers on the closet surface
Give them a little shake
Hair stands on end
Causing me to shiver
I rub my arms
Give a little smile
Hope no one notices my jitters
Breathing quickens
I close my eyes trying to relax
I struggle to find the words
My throat is dry
In anticipation
Lovely poem and it makes me want to know, what’s next?? What were those words…??
It’s a lovely build up to the anticipation of the words she’s looking for!
I’d happily read more to find out…

Thank you, I’d started it as a stand along poem but might have to have a work on what she’s up to, I want to find out too 🙂
I’m with the other lady. What’s she trying to say? She smiles, so does that mean it’s good anticipation? Lovely poem which describes anticipation very well X #ThePrompt
Thank you, I’d only ever thought of it as a stand alone, maybe she’ll work her way into something else & we’ll find out what she was waiting for xx
Love this, it captures that feeling of nervous anticipation perfectly. I want to know what happens next too 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt x
Thank you Sara, maybe one day we’ll find out what she was waiting for xx
