hands
i don't remember when your loving hands turned to fists of rage
all i remember is that it hurt
hurt more than anything i'd ever felt
and not to my skin, but to my heart.
you took my body into your hands and you picked my form apart
pinching and prodding, destroying some god's art
i didn't know then i'd lose you
so i'd listen to the lies you'd spew
i thought we had forever still
so i let your hands mold me to your will
i don't remember when your loving hands turned to fists of rage
all i remember is that it hurt,
and i'm turning the page.
