poems Me moving my hand away has
Caused you so much discomfort
It appears I never know the right thing
To do or say
I'm such a careless idiot
I consider putting my hand back
To show you I am not going anywhere
You are about to open up to me
The root of your problem lies here
Right in front of me
It's within reaching distance
I have no idea what is happening
Inside of me
To make me want to help you so badly
Maybe because I know how you feel
Providing you with comfort
Might just help me sort myself out too
I place my hand back on yours
That's just it
True it will always be there
It's a wound that remains open
Until you find the way to close it
You've had the string all along
And now I have come along with the needle
Together we can at least
Make this more bareable for you
Sure you will still have the scar there
But thats just the reminder
To show how lucky you are now
How far you have come since the beginning
I can feel the tears forming
In my own eyes now
It's been so long since I
Have felt this way
Inside I am still very much
That neglected child
That suicidal teen
That rejected outcast
I blink back the tears
You will be ok now
I will make sure of it
