hands (Free verse) by New Life Drug
there's cuts and bruises
on my hands
and it confuses
everyone that slowly dances
In the room
In the room
I am staring at your hands
they look like defense wounds
And so I wondered
What were you fighting off?
Maybe it was Love
with the right amount
of personification
And your stance explains it all
It's not a welcoming position
You hide it well
With your pockets held in by your hands
And it confuses everyone when they see
we're not glued together
we're not glued together
A piece of you gets lost
every time you bleed
You're exposed for the world to see
exactly what you're made of
but who has the time
to look that closely?
except for maybe me
And your stance explains it all
It's not a suprising position
You hide it well
When your fingers are lonely on your hands
And it confuses everyone, even me
when we see
we're not glued together
we're not stuck together
there are cuts and bruises
on our hands
on our hands
All this from a simple glance...
