i can hear you breathing...

a simple phrase,
endearing as yer beloved lies her head on yer chest and murmurs the love...

or,

a creepy robotic voice, disembodied and metallic, on the other end of the phone connection...

Sliding doors.

dark hallway
shadow on the wall
floor board creek
musky scent
frozen
holding breath
don't breathe
not a sound

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you...

“May your love for me be like the scent of the evening sea
drifting in through a quiet window
so I do not have to run or chase or fall... to feel you.

All I have to do is breathe.”

Working a night shift then waking from a deep afternoon doze😴 on the sofa with a snoring grunt and a dribble down the side of your mouth.
