I liked this skirmish prompt, Thanks Robin, and here's my first go
Lyrics
I can hear you breathing Lying next to me You can’t hear me crying Lying next to you
Letting it out is the worst A desert dweller dying of thirst So many things we just can’t discuss And it’s never the time
I can see you breathing Steady, unperturbed I think the baby’s teething I’ll get up, you won’t be disturbed
Our life has changed in so many ways Sometimes I think about leaving But then I lie and listen to you Take solace in your breathing I lie and listen to your breathing

Nice change of course (introducing your baby) at mid point of verse 3. You really added substance.

Very touching words, very relatable. Hours lying awake at night thinking every thought in the world with only your partners breathing to keep you company.
