TW: Talks of self harm and suicidal ideation.
Your hand touched the same wrist the sharp ends did
You saw skin and I saw red, and even if you never knew it,
That was your way of telling me that you see some life in me
When all I saw was a way out
Of, well, all of this
From holding my hand to cross the street,
A high-five to share a moment of amusing triumph,
Or a gentle grasp of both my palms to calm me down
You held a hand, a quiet hand
That bears quieter blisters that never dare whisper themselves to you
and I know you didn’t knew of them
But my heart is warm for the reason that
I never needed to tell you what I did
For you to hold my hands in yours
And tell me that you love me, because
You did it anyway.
I stopped wanting to sleep forever a while ago
But when you hold my hands in yours, it makes me wonder
Whether staying awake, even past my bedtime is such a bad
thing. Picture credits: https://images.app.goo.gl/u5V5wyUk7cz7gYeP8
