I Didn’t Want You (Poem)

I never wanted you here.

I didn’t want to see your hand

Rest tenderly on the flowers you grew.

I didn’t want to see your eyes

Fill with delight at a bird on the windowsill.

I didn’t want to hear your voice

Call my name in the sleepy morning.

I didn’t want to hear your laugh

Ring with joy at a unexpected kiss.

I didn’t want you moving into my heart

And making it your home.

I didn’t want you; no, not at all.

I shall miss you every moment.

I didn’t want you. I didn’t.
