Tissue Heart

Couldn't believe I forgot about this. I was going to put this up rather than the one I put out right before this. (the [Untitled] one). It needs work...


Holding a heart made of tissue paper
The slightest movement will tear it
A squeeze will crush it
A gentle tug will rip it in two

Holding my heart made of tissue paper
Torn and taped up
Soggy from tears
Stains from spillings

Holding your heart made of tissue paper
Edges ripped slightly
Sewn up and wrinkly
Red stain from a gunshot

Holding a heart made of tissue paper
So easy to destroy
So hard to take care of
Blow it gently and watch it fall

Stanza 3, the last line bugs me like hell. Gunshot? Bullet? Bullet wound? Ehh...
