The Writing on the Wrist
She writes notes to herself in red
The ink stains the back of her hand
Letters from her prison
Transmitting to the outside
Some will say she is purely out of her mind
Her calligraphy stylized with sorrow and regret
Forever engraved in the red
I ask myself, is she here to stay?
One more tally, one more day
I hear it makes you feel better
Is it only better for now or better forever?
She tells me I do not understand
She is right. I do not. I am just a man.
One day her book came to a close
The words in her head heavier than a pen could hold
Some slightly wrinkled but, good pages
That is what I have
I'll read your book aloud
Yes, I will do
