10 Fingers
January 20, 2015
1 is for all the insults you give
2 is for all the mistakes you make
3 is for when you're ignorant
4 is for when you're cockey
5 is for when you hate me
This is the hand I slap you with
6 is for all the compliments you give
7 is for all the service you perform
8 is for when you're empathetic
9 is for when you're charming
10 is for when you love me
This is the hand you kiss
Everyone has their quirks and faults,
But remember
I hug you with both arms.
