absolutely beautiful. things i think could be improved:
no need to title it bitter, that makes me think of beer as much as anna's ghost.
For she left and wandered off would fit the rhythm better without the word me.
With no road back to me should really be the last line. bitterness of the sort described is really such a selfish sentiment, ending on any word other than "me" is practically a crime.

of course, this is all just basically me nitpicking. i love the poem. love it.
