In My Hands

I can feel you in my hands

if not my grasp

Although my last lover

holds up in my jaw

She wasn’t the one I saw

In each stranger’s bend and curve

You’d think by now I’d learn

To see past the illusion

Steer clear of delusion

On top of that mountain

The one that looks like a woman

I found balance 

But for only a moment

After months of climbing

Had to come down

When I tried to kiss her there

I ended up just sucking air

On this next climb up

I’ll fill my cup

With the sweat from my brow

I’ll work the plough

Until I see a raincloud

Until you’re here with me now

Because you let me know

I’m on my own 

I don’t have to climb alone

I see your fingers reaching out to me

Like the length of your hair

I need you to know

You’re not grabbing air

Know

I'm there
