Hands as a mask
I hide my face from you
in an attempt to forget
the way your hand
perfectly in mine.
You promised
to never let go,
but instead of using
my hand to hold yours,
I hold both middle fingers
in the air,
screaming to the sky.
You don't know that, though.
You just know
I hide myself from you
with the very same hands
you held ever so tightly.
I hide my face
like I use to hide my scars,
the ones you'd kiss so softly.
I was broken,
but you glued me back together.
Glue doesn't stay
together forever,
just like your hand
wasn't meant for mine
forever.
I realized then,
that our hands
didn't fit perfectly together.
You just had a thing
for glue.
