Hands
You are nothing to me
A worthless speck of dust that occupies my finger
I say these words to myself
“You are worthless”
“You are nothing”
Yet I dont know who I am talking to anymore
A mirror figure is nothing but a wolf in a teenagers clothes
Constant figure eights of a pencil writting meaningless banter
A mind so far down a road of endless emotion that now it is numb
But who is numb?
Who am I even talking to?
Maybe its some stranger on the road who looks to me and says:
“Go down the road and take a left”
To which I can only reply:
“What? To where? Where do I go?”
Maybe if I follow down that road I can find who I am talking to
But when I follow the directions I come upon that store
I walk in to find creepy and slimy things
A hollow figurine filled with memories of a forgotten little girl caught in a perverts hand
Ah so thats what this poem is about
A forgotten little girl
A perverts hand?
Really? Is that the phrase that will represent him?
How many times must I mull it over in my head
Events that are so blurry that it makes me feel drunk to even think of them
Is that why I cant sleep at night some times?
Is that why she cant sleep at night at all?
She was there with me
I can hear her through the walls
She scrapes away at her own mind sometimes only falling asleep at 2 in the morning
Walking like a human when inside she is still soft and slimy from those events
We encountered it together hand in hand
So then at night when sleep finally takes over I see them standing there
Two small girls staring into my memories
Oh how I wish they would take them away
And then when they begin to come towards me
A hand comes to sweep them away to their cruel fates
Oh but it is just a dream that my stupid mind can only use to cope with those events
How old was I?
How old was she?
What does it matter now
I cant remember his face or name
I just remember the hands
