Low Battery

Low battery,

but I’m still on.

Light is red,

but I move on.

Everything feels a little thin—

still running on what’s left in.

Low battery, still awake.

Half the speed, but wide awake.

I don’t stop, I just delay—

moving slow, but still okay.

Low battery.

I reply late, not on purpose.

I miss words in between us.

My hands move before my head,

doing things I never said.

Low battery—screen still bright.

Background apps all night.

I don’t close what I don’t need:

saving power, saving me.

Low battery.

No alarms, no last calls—

just one percent through it all.

Automatic mode kicks in:

breathing out, breathing in.

Low battery—still here.

Not enough, but clear.

Not the end, not asleep—

just running on low battery.

Low battery.
