I am.
You do not
Give me
Breath
Yet when
I am
With you
My chest
Fills
With life.
You do not
Make
My heart
Beat
Yet when
You speak
It pounds a march
Which I
Must follow.
You are
Not all
Yet
When you are
Here
I am more.
I am.
—
Without you
My heart beats
To remind me
Of each second
Since you left.
—
Opening a door
To pain
I let it in
I feel it
I know it
Once again.
