Paper Heart Poet May 2020
You think I could do better 
I think you could do better
So why do we force it 
When it’s all broken fully 

I could easily forget you 
If I deleted your picture 
Forced you out of my mind 
You’d vanish from my life 

You’d be a memory
And we’d get rid of all this 
Hurting and arguing 
Constant misunderstanding 

Pretending that it still works 
When we know we can’t forgive 
Mistakes have been too many
I lost count while crying myself 

To sleep without you hugging me 
You don’t get me anymore
Or maybe you never did 
I just wanted it so bad 

I lied to both of us 
I needed you back then 
But now it’s just a burden
If you don’t understand anything

Cat on a
        leash
Leftover
        food
Gulls screech on
        scraps
Dirt on
        dishes

Clicking clutter    
        of mind
Ticking thoughts
        thrown around
Buzzing brain
        bugs beating
Anxious sadness
        settles in

Awe
The power of your wild beauty 
Shocks and magnetises me 
I exis in silent awe
That love I feel is breaking law
Paper Heart Poet May 2020
No one could recreate the beat 
You make my heart drum
Paper Heart Poet Apr 2020
Born from water 
Of the womb 

Walk on earth and 
Breathe the air 

Turn to fire 
On the pyre
Paper Heart Poet Apr 2020
Why
Why do you ask
Why I cry

Like I need a reason
Every time

As if the world’s weight
Is not enough
On its own

Each tear is a scar
Which covers a wound
Paper Heart Poet Apr 2020
It’s hard to find solace 
In the bitter heart of a lone man
He’ll turn you to stone
