Paint me by numbers....

by Beth - Scorpio

The anticipation
builds   s  l  o  w  l  y  
minute by minute
hour by hour
day by day
till you return

feeling lost
stare at these walls
wander senselessly 
from room to room
unconsciously searching
for the man that isn't there

hear your voice
but turn to find
emptiness
just the wind 
I guess

feel your fingers
on my skin
but no fingers to be seen
still tasting the kiss
that lingers on my lips

like a half finished painting
I lay ,as you
you scampered off into the night
the call of duty strong
not to worry 
you will be back
this just feels strange 
without you.

Counting the days
hours
minutes
till you return

To paint me by numbers
kiss by kiss
wrapping myself in you
until again
duty calls
and you must heed 
her demanding voice.....

Reason for writing:

    Depends on how you read it....I know what I meant...Do you?
