Remember

I am offering this poem to you
because I have nothing else to give.
Keep it like a coat
when spring rain dampens you,
or like a pair of thick socks
the cold of your basement
cannot bite through.

            I love you.

I have nothing else to give.
Keep it, treasure it.
Tuck it away like a cabin
in dense trees
where you come knocking
and I will answer
to let you warm yourself by this fire,
make you feel safe.

             I love you.

It is all I have to give.
When the world outside
no longer cares if you live
or die
remember
            
             I love you
