Opinions
Can you hear it breathe, in its silent moments? Can you hear it squeal, in its desperate hours?
Can you feel it palpitate, writhing in agony; shaking and shivering — would you call out to it?
Would you stare into its emptiness, and whisper a silent melody. Would you touch it, soft and tender, and show it the light.
Would you open your heart, and let it see inside you; show that it exists within you, and let it wipe your tears.
