[Exhale] I see the dead in your eyes.
[Inhale] I avert my own.
[Exhale] Bile from my throat rises.
[Inhale] Staggered, you walk into the room.
[Exhale] Out of the corner of my eye, I watch
[Inhale] the light under the door.
[Exhale] off; It's over for the night
[Inhale] on; my chest will stay clenched in fear
[Exhale] It clicks off.
[Inhale] Staggered, like your walk, my breath draws in,
[Exhale] Warm air swirls in front of me.
[Inhale] My eyes close.
[Exhale] I force my pain out.
[Inhale] Pain that you cause
[Exhale] By drowning your own.
