Me and my master

0 0 0
                                    

I will scream into the darkness and wait for my echo

I should do something with these hands

But how can these hands leak colour

These same bleak hands have hurt a soul

My hands are my enemy

Tugging and pushing and twisting

Why do the worst things come to those who wait

I have waited my whole life
Even longer

For these hands to clear

I notice the way you come to me

With your eyes closed

Even I do not look in the mirror

I lie every time I tell you my secrets

Even my own are unbeknownst to me

My hands are my masters

I will scream into the darkness and it will answer
