You left me wanting

Across the quad,

You left me wanting.

I watched you walk,

Clutching files across your chest.

You left me wanting.

Across the room,

You left me wanting.

I watched you work,

Piercing eyes over the rim of your glasses.

You left me wanting.

Across the wards,

You left me wanting.

I watched you cradle our babies,

Your velvet lips rest on their heads as you inhale, taking in our love.

You left me wanting.

Across the aisle,

You left me wanting.

I watched you glide, my swan,

Such grace, such finness breathtaking beauty.

You left me wanting.

Across life’s distractions,

You left me wanting.

I watched as you hurt,

Spoken words retracted blackest of ink redacted.

You left me wanting.

Across the bed,

You left me wanting.

I watch you sleep, Kissing your closed eyes,

Asleep, you interlock fingers with me as you turn.

You left me wanting.
