embrace
You told me not to hold you tight
but what was I holding on to?
When we embraced, I squeezed your waist
You told me not to need you
I buried my face in the center of your chest
Inhaled and tried to breathe you
I shut my eyes ‘til I saw spots
Determined not to leave you
But hugs can only last so long
and what good do they lead to?
A forehead kiss? I was dismissed.
I should have taken heed to
your warnings that said, “loosen your grip.”
Your worried gaze deceived you
I ignored that look; I thought it love
and now I’m left to grieve you.
