That Feeling

That feeling,
when you know you’ve forgotten something.
Did I leave the stove on?
Did I lock the door?
Did I put on deodorant this morning?
All these nagging dangers
that consume your every thought
and usually turn out to be nothing,
but hold the potential for
death,
destruction,
and personal ruin.
That is the feeling
that you elicit
in me.
