cold hands
when they reach for your man
they betray your concern that there's no one who can
complete you
and the life you preclude
when you want what you don't have and hate what you do
the solace you find in empty embraces
won't pacify the shadow one chases
their whole life
soft hands
demoiselle in demand
but the years erode and every line reminds you
nothing really went to plan
now comfort's cruel
but it means more than truth
just to hold back the tears when you dream of your youth
where will it lead, this road of contrition???
no one has the right to judge your conviction!!!
two hands
are too fewer hands
to juggle the world and all its tireless demands
and then turn around and insist you don't mind
well you know what i'll say and it's not what you like
but i'd tell you plain
the solace we find in empty embraces
-- and i've had my share of those--
won't pacify the shadows we've chased down
our whole lives
