Mes mains

My hands
Draw in the evening
The shape of a hope
That looks like your body
My hands
When they tremble with fever
It's from our brief loves
That they still remember
My hands
Caress with their fingers
Little things from you
Searching for a bit of joy
My hands
Reach out in prayer
To your light shadow
That disappeared into the night
My hands
They love you madly
With an endless love
They love you for life
Have you already erased this past that haunts me?
Have you already forgotten that these hands gave everything?
My hands
That would like to caress
One day will be tired
Of waiting for your return
My hands
They will go find you
Where you’ve hidden
With another love
My hands
Disregarding prayers
Will tremble with anger
And I can do nothing about it
My hands
Forever in the night
Will carry away your life
But since you know it
Come back
And just like before
They will shiver for you
In the joy rediscovered
Come back
Don’t push them away
These hands reaching out to you
And give them your hands
