    A Man's Hands

    A man’s hands, held mine in his.
    A man’s hands, held my face for a kiss.
    A man’s hands, smoothed out my hair.
    A man’s hands, promised life-long care.
    A man’s hands, swore not to falter.
    A man’s hands, held mine at the altar.
    A man’s hands, held me at night.
    A man’s hands, held our child at first sight.
    A man’s hands, showed me so much love, then
    A man’s hands, started to hit and shove.
    A man’s hands, started to hurt.
    A man’s hands, treated me like dirt.
    A man’s hands, made me so scared.
    A man’s hands, just didn’t care.
    A man’s hands, just couldn’t see,
    A man’s hands, shouldn’t hurt me.

    Your poem touched me for I too have felt a "man's hands" in the same manner as you.

    hopefully not currently? thankfully i got away and am now remarried to a great guy.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
