She Holds Her Hands
She holds her hands over his mind,
So what sense he has he cannot find.
She holds her hands over his eyes,
And blinds him from his lies.
She holds her hands over each of his ears,
So the tales that he tells he cannot hear.
She holds her hands over his tongue,
So he cannot speak of the good things he’s done.
She holds her hands over his like a glove,
So he cannot touch the one that he loves.
She holds her hands over his feet,
So he cannot walk to find good people to meet.
The vice-like grip I cannot understand,
I just pray one day he’ll be able to release her hands.

Authors Comment:
“The “he” refers to my ex-husband and the “her” refers to his addiction, meth, the repetiveness of the “she holds her hands” is meant to display how drugs or any addiction really can take over your entire being; may GOD help him by blessing him with the opportunity to help himself.”
