What I have left

When I'm tired
Shambling down the dragging seconds
Sucking down air in sleepy gulps
Blinking at the floor
I dream of you
And rest.

When I'm cold
Nothing to emote
Pulling tighter at a jacket
Wanting some sun
I remember you
And warmth.

When I'm late
Typing with frantic fingers
Vaulting up and tripping down
Bursting lungs and heart
I think of you
And peace.

When I'm sad
Curling into a tense twist
Clutching at shivering shoulders
Licking at trickling salt
I go to you
And joy.

When I'm alright
Greeting a friend
Thinking with spoken words
Sitting at a desk with nothing to do
I have you
And a smile.

    I am crying.

    How can you ever think that you are too negative or don't have the words or aren't perfect when you can say things like this? This is beautiful.
