Hand In Hand Poem by Grace Van Eerd

Hand in Hand
By: Grace Van Eerd

In a dark sad place where we stand hand in hand all we can think of is the wounds on our wrists.

No longer do I look forward to what comes after this.
Lonely nights full of deep thoughts, please take me back to reality with just one kiss..
I'm tired of waiting,
crying without tears.
Mesmerized is my mind when I look into your eyes.
Hold my hand and walk me away from my fears..
Or help me escape from these nightmares..
I miss your smile that just helped me feel alive,
I cant do this on my own no matter how hard I try.
I still feel lost inside myself, in utter defeat,
Like theres no where for me to run and Im trapped inside a love song thats stuck on repeat..
Where are you when I need you, it's like you've forgot I even exist
My sadness has taken over me and I wait for you to come
to sweep me off my feet and hold me close to you,
lets run away together, run, lets just run.
Cause we have nothing here we both cut away our feelings, leaving a numbing trail behind us, it's not like anyone cares..
cause who would care about a couple of freaks that hide in the shadows,
An illusion of darkness, in a room full of sorrows is where we go at night instead of a dream.
Because even the people in dreams are equally as mean,
as the demons in real life we fight off every day...
by day...we suffer.
In a dark sad place where we stand hand in hand all we can think of is the wounds on our wrists.

Maybe someday we'll wake up together, in a room full of light..
everything we love surrounding us as we stand in the drips of our own blood as a memory of what we've been through and remember that it gets better...
it always gets better...
so together we wore necklaces of rope and hand in hand we left.
We walked away from the dark because words killed us and sent us to a place where theres nothing of the sort.
Were dead but we've never felt so alive,
hand in hand we pray..
for all the souls and tears from yesterday..
stained on the faces of those who are hurt, pained and fading away.
because they deserve happiness..
since no one deserves to feel worthless.
We bow down to those who fought until they were not strong enough to keep on going, we are hand in hand with them as well..
in the beautiful place full of light and love.
Where no one is worthless,
and there is no pain..
and when I kiss your lips again I feel like i've never been so alive.
We love those who stood up and got past their time of defeat for they have eternal strength.
So hand in hand we cried.
Hand in hand we loved.
Hand in hand we bowed down.
Hand in hand we prayed.
And hand in hand we died.

The End.
