still here

I won't lie to you tonight.

I don't have good news.

I have a hand.

It's warm. That's all it is.

Still here.

After everything,

after all of it —

here.

I know what it has taken.

I'm not done being taken from.

There's more of me to lose,

which means there's more of me.

Still here —

worse for wear,

wearing it.

Here.

Still here.

And so are you.

Look at that.

Still us.
