I liked this skirmish prompt, Thanks Robin, and here's my first go

Lyrics

I can hear you breathing
Lying next to me
You can’t hear me crying
Lying next to you

Letting it out is the worst
A desert dweller dying of thirst
So many things we just can’t discuss
And it’s never the time

I can see you breathing
Steady, unperturbed
I think the baby’s teething
I’ll get up, you won’t be disturbed

Our life has changed in so many ways
Sometimes I think about leaving
But then I lie and listen to you
Take solace in your breathing
I lie and listen to your breathing

Very touching words, very relatable. Hours lying awake at night thinking every thought in the world with only your partners breathing to keep you company.
