a paper cut.
The blood seeps and pools
on the tip of my finger
And drips,
on the poem
That lay
crumpled on the floor
The blood stains,
and the pain remains.
I guess
Some things
are better left unsaid.
Some memories
hurt too much
Like
paper cuts.
Tiny
Open wounds
that bleeds,
like the past
that haunts us.
And Sometimes,
there’s just
no going back.
Happy memories
I treasure
I keep them.
Locked away,
behind the red door.
Where your laughter
Still fills the room.
With little touches of you
Thoughts of you.
I’m dying inside
In your absence
And I am left,
with only,
these paper cuts.
Tiny
Invisible wounds.
That never seem to heal.
It just hurts
So much more
With time.
And as the days
grow longer
the nights grow colder
And I,
just linger-
Till I fade away.
paper cuts are slight but bleed so heavily...wounds to the heart sometimes seem harmless, and we almost ignore them...and yet, sooner or later they start to bleed and often won't stop...
the pain increases and we just want to cut our finger off...or maybe our heart.
nice metaphor.

Your review is breathtakingly beautiful. Thankyou j, I appreciate it.
Paper cuts; the most minor of wounds yet they hurt so much. Some people think that way about broken hearts. They seem to think they are only minor wounds and we'll just “get over it.” Odd that they don't understand how much it hurts.
Good work. And welcome back.

This is so lyrical - it could be a great song!! As it stands its a great poem - very good metaphor - the subtleties are its strength thus they convey so well in feeling just how painful those little, almost invisible, injuries (to the heart) can be.
Great work - welcome back Roma J.

But it would always sound pop to me. I guess it all that pop music they play on radio. Gets stuck in my head...and thank you for your thoughts.
A broken promise.
I took a long drive to lose myself
I found myself.
And got lost anyway.
I'm not where I'm supposed to be,
but the road is long,
My gas is on
Empty.
And so I walk,.. more..
