Paper Heart

It beats with the sound of whispering pages,

scrawling pens through passing ages.

With blood of ink that curls and flows,

in words or in symbols that nobody knows.

My paper heart that beats apart word by word in me.

 

Each beat is a chapter, each word so true,

Once Upon a Time It beat just for you.

It beats out now stories in it's leather case,

a soft, hard cage to keep the pages safe.

A paper heart that bleeds apart, not for eyes to see.

 

The ink is pain, the ink is love,

the ink is life, the ink is blood.

Hear my words, feel the ink,

judge my words. What do you think

My paper hart that falls apart, so may it set me free.

 

Ink for blood, a paper soul,

a leather case, beats to a goal.

To let me live, every day

I need my heart, so leave it this way.

 

My paper heart right from the start

it's who I am, beats so I can

stay alive, and maybe thrive.

 

It beats, it bleeds, it falls apart.

My

Perfect

Patchwork

Paper

Heart.
