Oh, if only I knew what I wanted to say... lol

Outstretched Hand

I lay in my grave, stretch out my hand,
Pray someone sees it, can understand.
Dirt kicked in my eyes, makes me blind,
All that remains, no faults can I find.
You pass my tombstone, walk right by
Fail to observe, keep living your lie.
I shiver slightly, deeper still I shall dig,
Board up my soul, pain’s mark is too big.
Curl into a sordid ball, feel other’s hate,
Rescind my palm as hope dissipates.
My lips snarl in anger, clenching a fist,
While the terrified loneliness does persist.
I look down at my fingers, burnt with cold,
Chapped by neglect, so young, yet old.
Scars of past misery, craggy and rough,
Experience scalded sorely, left them tough.
Each nail a still of innocence purloined,
At each knuckle, lost memories conjoined.
