Paper Hearts

I trace the lines of your old letters,

Fingers trembling, wishing for better.

The wind carries whispers of your name,

But everything’s different now, nothing’s the same.

I built a world where we could stay,

But paper hearts just fade away.

Crumbled love in my hands,

I’m learning to stand where you once ran.

Electric skies and falling stars,

I’m mending pieces of our paper hearts.

I hear our song in the streets at night,

Neon glows where we lost the fight.

Every shadow dances where you used to be,

And I’m chasing echoes that don’t belong to me.

I tried to keep your love in my chest,

But fragile things don’t survive the test.

Crumbled love in my hands,

I’m learning to stand where you once ran.

Electric skies and falling stars,

I’m mending pieces of our paper hearts.

Maybe one day the rain will wash it all,

Every tear, every rise, every fall.

I’ll learn to love without breaking apart,

I’ll stitch the seams of my paper heart.

Crumbled love in my hands,

I’m learning to stand where you once ran.

Electric skies and falling stars,

I’m mending pieces of our paper hearts.

Mending…

Mending…

My paper hearts.
