I fell for another boy
but he could never be you
it's been two years
and I can't stop my heart
from beating twice as fast
when I hear your name

every morning
I mourn
the loss of your good morning texts
every night
I reminisce
about your voice when you told me
I was all you ever wanted

I let you fool me
play me
hurt me
break me
and somehow still
I can't look at another boy
the way I look at you

Gentle Hands, rest easy now-
Warped, wrinkled, and wrangled,
Wipe away the worries you have worn.


Gentle Hands, rest easy now-
Release the regrets you retain
And rightfully receive some relief.


Gentle Hands, rest easy now-
Fearful, frozen, and fractured,
Free the phantoms that follow you.


Gentle Hands, rest easy now-
Place your pained palm in mine
And pass into perpetual peace.
