Finding myself

tonight Your thieving fingers wandered Over my exposed textured canvas Absorbing my earth browns and love reds holding them for random Blackmailing my sensibilities  ..and Casually tossing to the floor I gathered my rainbow, my ocean’s so blue Sophisticated smooth opaque blacks          yellows hidden in  sunlight fire and seductions of my reds Searching the floor for every drop scraping the remains from beneath my finger nails           and tuck them Away from sight          In a jar named reserves Along with stolen kisses and goodnight wishes Serving the purpose of reminding me to never forget Your heart beating into my chest But drumming out the sound of me living..      Sometimes I forget that I’m breathing I lose my self in you     I hold pieces of your toxins   Soaking them into my pores, seeping between my fingers Scratching and Chafing letting them slide between my thighs But I don’t fight it Eyes wide shut   I mourn you In my arms I hold pieces of your lies In these arms I hold tattered broken dreams In these arms I hold so much that I laid myself down somewhere     and Absentmindedly  walked away And I minded it absolutely I lost myself for loving you Don’t know if I’ll ever find me
