"Nail bed Information"
My nails are of a common thief
still I interrogate for information
as if my finger tips have all the answers
saliva mixing with salt and dirt
these battles are unpleasant
My fingers were once the ones that held yours
caressing every divot, nook, cranny
knotting them around your hair was their finest hour
telling you my secrets, my...weaknesses
they knew everything about you
your easiest disposal of my truth
so when you left I thought,
"It's because my hands knew you too well"
maybe that's why I continue to challenge their accuracy
leaving no nail bed un-turned
and perchance I might retrieve the answers
to why you never came back
