Anatomy Lesson

You say I didn’t love you enough.

I have two legs
two arms, two hands, two feet, two lips

But only one heart.
 

 But with my arms I embraced you until minutes turned to hours
With my hands I held onto yours as if they were the only possession I ever owned
with my two feet I followed you to places I never wanted to go
with my lips I kissed the bruises and scars that marred your gossamer skin
 my heart disregarded it’s function and became a domicile for you

All the fragments of my body became whole for you, and I called it love
I guess my simple anatomy wasn’t enough
