My calloused hands caress your face
How you loved me, back in the day

Strong hands that built what you desired
Are feeble now, so bruised and tired

My gnarled fingers, stroke your hair
How it burns me, your loveless stare

My shackled wrists were bound by love
Are unlocked now, I’ve had enough

Clenched fists that yearn to hurt and maim
Turn white in anger, can’t explain

My palms they sweat, when you are near
Another fight will come, I fear

My fists through walls and doors and glass
Unleash my anger, cover my ass

Vicious, vindictive, I can be
Is it so hard just to love me?

We see ourselves as the "average" in our own little twisted worlds, and I to find it hard to digest that someone might have a hard time loving me...this had a great flow, nicely done *~seraph~*

Impressive, the whole hands theme. The way it is conveyed is impressive. The rhyme's are okey. I didnt think much of it rhyming, just that it had decent flow.

_very intense...hanging onto control by a thread...knowing your limits...and when you have passed them...the last two stanzas did it fo me.
