Rock, Paper, Scissors

Rock, Paper, Scissors

A Poem by Susan Beth Horvath

Rock
my heart
is 
made of; 
paper-like
the love 
be-
tween us.
Your words cut -
like steel scissors -
love to shreds.
My heart
breaks
(scissors) 
promises
you spoke.
Love
covers
wounds.

The end is outstanding. A smartly laid out piece.

This is put together quite nicely. The wording was perfect!
