Wednesday, February 8
for you
you can scrub your hands,
till the skin splits and tears.
yes, they'll heal
but we know how chapped they'll feel.
dollops of la mer and kiehl's
won't make them soft still.
the scars will be forever
to be your personal reminder.
of how you should've been gentler,
cause your hands are tender.
the damn spot you wanto remove
is in your head. not the surface.
so don't drive yourself nuts,
trapped in every 'maybe', 'if' or 'but'.
