Don't you in contempt dump
my affection in some landfill
love didn't do you any wrong
you could walk away but never ****--

hearts that had loved once
even in sorrow should bear no ill
I look forward to no happy outcome
but only bid to remain remorseless and still.
* after John Keats,  John Clare and Christina Rossetti
