Unwelcome Feeling

sometimes you can't help it
the feeling washes over you,
just as unwelcome as the last time
it waits there-inside you
for the perfect time
the perfect time- when you're not looking
it plays unfair
kicking you in the gut when you're already down
you'll learn to live with it
in time.
everything has it's time.
and you wait for this time to be over.
it gives in.
if only for a moment
letting you live again.
until the next time
and the time after that
until it swallows you whole
until you've got nothing left to give.
