The way these hands do bind me down
feelings flutter with caress
these hands only want to touch and feel
creating art out of love
their attached to something more
a heart within a dying hope
and as this body weighs me down
my aching hands keep me afloat
though the biggest weight must be my mind
the one that crys and hacks at time
only wishing its emotions were fullfilled
this body
this mind
these hands that try to bind
all part of a creation not quite mine
forged from something caring and bitterly sensitive
I need release from this drowning plague of rotted bliss
