Burnt Hands

The rope burns my hands

As I try to hold on,

It hurts a lot more

Then I thought it would.

The rope

Gave me scars,

Made my hands bleed and ache,

Trying to keep a grip on this,

We were hanging by a thread,

And I was holding on so tight.

Last night

I finally let it go

I gave my hands a rest

And dropped the rope.

I still feel the burn that was

Left on my hands,

Now that your gone,

I know I will keep the scars

Just to know,

That I won’t get burnt anymore.
