Back Of My Hand

from I Think I Am by Colette O'Connor

/

about

Every life has its dark times. Sometimes we see things more clearly with tears in our eyes. There is quiet power here.

lyrics

This page of my life
ink stained, blurry
colors cry
but don't ask why I made them
do I?
Found a lock of your hair
cut away while I held your hand
I understand the season's
changing.
Whatever went away
at least had the chance to stay
but I, I wrote your name today
on the back of my hand.
Gone away in the night
running straight into
colored lines
these broken time connect us
don't they
Don't they scar our skin
while the ink settles in
staining like a sin
on the back of my hand
I can't chose the way
that you let my thoughts remain
if you blame them for your sorrow
Let it scar my skin
while the ink settles in
staining like a sin
on the back of my hand
Gone away in the night
running straight into colored lines
these broken times connect us
don't they.
I could not make you stay.
The ink began to fade, oh but I, I know so well this pain.
I felt your touch today
on the back of my hand.
The back of my hand
