Breathe

In and out, in and out.
It's so simple a motion.
Air whooshing in,
Feeding life and
Air sliding out,
Making room.

Yet when you breathe,
It seems so complex.
In and    ,   and out.
That's how it sounds.
    and out,   and out.
How painful it must be.

In and out, in and out.
It seems I'm sucking all the
Air as you breathe
    and out, in and      .
Our rhythm of life as
I wonder what it's like to die.

Will

I feel as if I'm lying by not telling
You the truth, the one buried deep in my
     Heart.
I feel like I'm drifting further away from
You when I don't tell you that I'm
     Losing.
I feel that inside I'm trying to hide it from
You like it will keep her alive and me with
     Family.
I feel we are both hiding things from me and
You, black empty secrets that are painful,
     Raw.
I feel as if you're trying to reach out, that
You are trying to save me but I always
     Refuse.
I feel like sometimes, in my darkest moments,
You may have become too good for someone like
     Me.

Movie

There's something wrong,
His eyes whisper to me.
You can tell me anything,
They reassure me.

I'm fine, everything's fine,
Mine mutter back.
Just believe me, my lies,
My eyes say, half to me.

I can see it reflected there,
His insist, trying to pry.
You're not okay, that's a lie,
They cry, drilling too far.

I'm allowed my secrets,
My eyes scream back.
You have yours and me mine,
They reply, battling with him.

Despite the silent deadly war
Raging inside our eyes,
Will only says,
I'm glad you're here.
I'm glad you're alright.
To which I reply,
I'm happy to see you.
I'm happy to be alive.
