We had smiles, so deep, A love, to keep, It lasted as long it stayed asleep. But when it was woken, The silence was broken, And the weeds I sowed I must reap. A photo on the floor, Slipped through my sliced fingers. The captured second swelling out of the paper, Broken. Scissors on the floor, Slipped through, slicing my fingers. I lie, blood flowing freely from my outline, Papercut. Scissors, A photo, On the floor, Black where I cut myself out. You’re still smiling. I'll make sure of that. I'm bleeding; papercut

Papercut (7-7-08)
We had smiles, so deep, A love, to keep, It lasted as long it stayed asleep. But when it was woken, The silence was broken, And the weeds I sowed I must reap. A photo on the floor, Slipped through my sliced fingers. The captured second swelling out of the paper, Broken. Scissors on the floor, Slipped through, slicing my fingers. I lie, blood flowing freely from my outline, Papercut. Scissors, A photo, On the floor, Black where I cut myself out. You’re still smiling. I'll make sure of that. I'm bleeding; papercut
