Paper Cuts and Broken Hearts - Keepsake

An attempt to erase

Every memory that bares your name

But every thought you invade

What was there has become dust

Yet I pray for it’s resurrection

When I should just accept

And come to terms with it’s demise

An attempt to hate you

For my deepest scar

Cause what we had are now just fragments

My blood flowed from your hands

Heartless.

soulless

You could not care

Less you drove these splinters deeper

Why won’t I let you die

Your razors.

my wrist, my tears

Your kiss

And here I lie

Cold and pale

Nothing you can say

Will be enough to cure

Nothing you can say

Will be enough to cure

These papercuts

And broken hearts

These words replace my tears each letter

A pound of hatred but they quickly fade away

As I glance in your direction

I’ll choke on them

Once you’re gone
