Yours

Your hand It fits perfectly into mine Those fingers, they all entwine So warm They protect me Your grip tightens in sense of danger It is so hard it hurts me Please don't stop Never See Knuckles are the ugly parts They aren't uniform enough for my OCD They work their purpose Oh so well Release Anger resides in your palms You tell me they protected us But not just that Grievous bodily harm I'm haunted Right and left They have lived many lives Relationships with other skins Not mine It scalds me Those hands are mine now Yours only for me My fingers and yours forever embraced Protecting Home The bricks and mortar to my being It lies in your chromosomes A house is not a home You are Finger and thumb prints Destinations to all my explorations Gateways to the past and future The present Now Your hands They are an adventure and a comfort Not just yours but also mine Start and end Hold me Please Always
