Myself

Why are you so thirsty?
I always have to put you first be-
Cause
Otherwise wouldn’t be right.
You thirst,
Craving all the moisture I can
Wring from my eyes
And feed to you in a
Golden spoon,
Needing all the
Beautiful
Little
Words
I can scrape from the bottom
Of my heart.
I starved you, I know,
I gave you so little
Over
Almost years
Of wandering and seeking
What I might call
Myself.
In the end, that’s exactly
Where my road led me.
Don’t you realize
I’m back where I started?
I was in the right place all along,
I was with myself
I was with you
You are my self.
You make me;
Every inch of me smells of you,
You linger on my
Fingertips
Tugging me through
Thunder clouds and
Storms abound.
We never knew that rainbows
Followed
In our wake,
Until we looked back,
In the midst of another storm,
With rainy days and lightning to make.
