I want you to be more


I want you to be more
but choice no longer mine to make
has let you become no more
than an item on the list
in my bag.

And there you are
at the bottom, not even
top. It is as if some other time
has taken over, some other
life belonging to she who stares
out from the gilt-edged frame
on the side board. That old photo
a reminder that I am nailed
to this time, this place
where I am forgotten and left
to hold the silken web of dreams.
