Miss Nearly

I would have kept you close
Had you chosen the path of words
Atop a river
Bleeding

I would have kept you closer
Had you chosen anything but
Hiding the bottle beneath
Your pillow

I would have kept you
Your dreams
Desires spreading
Like lice โ€“ curling

I would have
Kept
You โ€“

Near
