Threading your fingers into mine

I love the feel of your rough hands

On my skin

A testimony of the struggles

You have endured

It caresses me with utmost sincerity

I know the love you carry 

In those seemingly trivia queries

Demonstrating how concerned you are
For my well being

I love threading your fingers into mine

Soothing the anguish that overwhelms you
At times

I perceive your creative spirits

Drives you to despair

But I patiently wait

To bring you back to normalcy

I have realized

How precious you are to me

Life is completely incomplete

Without you.
