confined

That feeling you get
when you're in a small space
and there's someone else
there with you.
Not a stranger,
but not really a friend,
just someone.
You don't want to stare.
You don't want to ignore.
You don't know what you should do.
You become conscious of the nothingness,
then you become conscious of everything else.
Air thickens between you
until relief comes rushing in
with the opening of the doors.
