I want to study the crevices of your palms The palms you keep clenched in fists I wonder if the lines were any indication Of the tragedy you became Once supple with hope Touch bringing only affection You’ve forsaken yourself Now rough, riddled with desire The valleys and the cracks of your far gone hands Caressing scarlet letters, shaken and shuddering Gripping skin, a romance black and blue Forcing notions of love upon you Are there signs of ********** marked upon yourself To match the husks your vileness disfigured Palms outstretched onto raw naked skin Grip tightened, nails dug into unwilling hips I want to study the crevices of your palms Do the lines spell out names of those you see in your daze Were they carved out as you seized their remains Or were they born with you, sealing their fate
