Hands

T. L. Cooper
Rubbing my back
Caressing my cheek
Holding my hand
Squeezing my shoulder
Rubbing my arm
Pulling me into a hug
Bringing comfort
Smoothing my hair
Brushing my bangs from my eyes
Holding me up
Changing
Pushing me down
Restraining me
Slapping my face
Please don't touch me anymore
No, not there, not like that
Stop
Touching me
Holding me down
Forcing me
Covering my mouth
Finished
Pushing me away
Those hands
