smile: make me four letters

to meet you

makes me laugh

to hear you

makes me silent

to know you

makes me cry.

to miss you
makes me hope.
to love you
makes me smile.
to want you
makes me sad.
to need you
makes me wait.
to have you
makes me.

sigh: still

my mind, cluttered like the post its on my desk
scratched out and pointless, but still sticky

and my thoughts, buzzing from the caffeine in my cup
stale, but still a rush

and my shadow, weary like the moon
flickering, but still dark

and my heart, young like a child
beating, but still broken

and life
still.
