With these tainted hands I touch the very deepness of the soul
Looking into your memories
Reminiscing ivories…
With these tainted hands I hold onto you
And I look deep into your eyes
And observe the tears
That have built
Inside…
With these tainted hands the clear sharp gem pierces skin
The scarlet cloth wrapping me
In its safe wings
And yet you cry for me…
With these tainted hands I hold yours
And apologize
And then I realize
That everything you’ve said is true
With these tainted hands I shed my tears
And you wipe them away
And I can hear you say
“Please don’t go, please don’t fade
I need you next to me today…”

I am glad that Zeke has helped you. Personally, I don't think you need your glass back, but that's just my opinion.
The poem is wonderful. Thank you for sharing with the group.

OK, well i really like the end bit. i thought the rhyme really tied together all the words, BUT i kind of thought it was a bit bland.
-still good, just a little boring. -
