My Empty Hand

you drew my hand
onto a piece of paper
and I could not help
but think of how
empty it looked

"that's just the way it is"
you said, as if it was

"you are simply not
holding anything"

you were right;

I did not have
your hand in mine,
nor your face cupped inside.

I did not have
you wrapped around
any fingers,
nor was your heart
resting in the palm
of my hand.

how nice it
would be
I thought,
to at least have
a grip
on reality.
