Anymore

Her insistent demands
I held
Despite myself
Against
Your rich grey coat
Against
Your shy ways
As if your own
Small
Form could hold

All

The reasons
All
The buried angers
Of which you
Were no part
And I
Held so tight
In the end
Left only with
Regrets echoing
Into your absence

And

I held too
Against you
All
The ways I didn’t
Know how
I wanted
To be
In love
With you
