Torn Hands

Torn Hands

A Poem by Henry Martinez
"

Lyrics to a song I'm composing.

"
These torn hands,
they make me,
they betray me,
forsake me-

Don't trust me,
like a magician,
I only show you facades-

My blood could be unreal,
bleed only to conceal
all my lies-

Honey, these torn hands,
Soft with kindness,
Uneven nails, inconsistent;
cut up, scarred from life-

I can do it all,
I can fail in all,
But these hands keep playing-

Chord after chord,
the embodiment of humans,
Kind, passionate;
their fickle nature, selfishness

They can do everything
They'll save the world;
they'll rip the life out of you;
they'll heal a broken heart,
I can do anything.
