I Could Never Leave You

Keys missing

Skeleton of what once was

USB port malfunctioning

No longer breathing life into the mouse

Screen massive

Lopsided

Text is minute

You were assaulted in the morn

I am sorry for the pain you suffered

At the hands of a curious toddler

I miss the way you were

The way your mouse was like part of me

Gliding me fearlessly

Confidently to where I needed to be

But now

Now

Lopsided

Skeletal

No mouse to call my third hand

I squint to read you

I tilt to speak to you

But my beloved

Even in your disabled state

I could never leave you

I will sit by your side

And tell you stories

Like I always have.
