The Hand with the Knife

 

The Hand with the Knife

Laijon Liu 20240323


your hands made to tickle and cuddle

thru time will heal the old opening wound

your hands tuck her under a warm blanket

give her sweet dreams and a safe harbor

your hands stretch out, embrace tight

your hands push her out to the barren field

her bony arms, tiny hands, pitied by an elf

her image of your past exact you resent

the heath you dwell on offers nothing but decays

and you wish it burns til it no longer exists

the feud she suffers and she must endure

it cuts thru anything with miraculous power

what rends your heart, severed her blessed arm

her fragile figure wanders off, lost in the wasteland.
