I hold my hand, until someone else will... |
My Own Hand to Hold Wrapping every tendril around each other Tracing the curves and separated spaces of pure loneliness The quick dips and twists of bone and skin And the daring white of a smooth, silk gloss I hold my own hand when no one else will I grip my pain when it threatens to burn and smother Within a passionate moment, I may break skin and ooze The blood of existence The escapre of being Quick release of sin and depressive, suppressive thoughts to conquer And yet, my firm stance will be left unchained For I will continue to pamper, preen and press that hand of mine Until it shatters amongst a sticky paste Or, may the time come when someone will take their hand into my own And my silent stance may be offered up into eternity And yet, I will not cease my breath Moments will pass and I will continue on without such For I can remain in my own company Sheltering this hand until the time is pronounced ready Until the pain has stopped bubbling under my core And my blood stays residing deep beneath my skin Soon these healing days will finally be put to rest In a coffin built for the past Then, this hand may be taken for some other For, this hand was created for its perfect partner It's ideal, glove-fit My temporary pair this other frigid, empty hand of mine Filled with the bone of my presenceless mind Cries out in shame and guilt For, it knows the days are numbered until warmth will be graced down upon it The rightful position to be drawn, composed and found with verity But, until such a day, this will do Yes, I will do And it will only be sweeter existence when this broken hand of mine will be rebuilt And finally fulfilled Allie Batt 12/6/08 |
