Stare at the Window and Rhyme

Torpedo

I sit here with you

I hear your silent breathing

Your chest rises and falls

As you breathe in,

And you wait for me to talk

And you breathe out

As I do nothing

You sit here with me

You hear my heart beating

My chest rises and falls

As I breathe in

And I look at you

And I breathe out

As I look away

I wish I could only listen

To your most silent thoughts

As you breathe in,

And you breathe out

And you wait for me

As I look at you

I wish you could only listen

To my most silent heart

As I breathe in

And I breathe out

And I look away

And you sigh.
