I heard you breathing
in the darkness.
His face, your eyes.
His mouth, your breath.

His hands were your hands,
touching.
wanting everything
I could not give.

My skin froze.

Your sounds were laboured,
puffing out on bursts of sticky air
against my cheek;
Your body heavy upon me.

Your voice was soft
and hung in the space around us.
"It's alright baby, it's alright".

I couldn't see him.
All I saw was you.
