~~Hands?~~

Don't fail me.

You know I need you--

Instruments of the soul.

Creators of my words.

Recorders of my mind.

Don't hurt now, please.

Don't cause me pain.

I know I've mistreated you--

But, please!

I need you.

Little things, that mean so much.

To tap, and touch, and type.

Caress my lover's cheek,

And wrap my scarf tight.

Don't let me fail tonight.

Without you, I would not exist--

I could not drink, nor eat.

I would not survive, I'd be

Unsustainable

Without your power.

Don't fail me, hands.

I'll treat you better!

Just, please, don't hurt.

I pledge to you I'll be kinder--

Just don't fail me tonight.
