You are so close to me I can hear you breathing,
And I suddenly become conscious of my own breath.
My spit is stuck in my throat along with my voice,
My stomach is roaring.
Every move I make seems to be loud and clumsy.
This is unnerving.
The air is filled with my thoughts and insecurities,
More drowning than swimming through my head.
My mouth is sewn shut,
If I speak the walls will crumble and the glass will shatter.
This silence is dangerous.
