with nothing said

you took it from me

I taught you how to make your own

but "Theyre not as good as yours"

they would stay afloat, go on for miles

we never saw them again, your paper boats

plain paper, white like snow

only to get dirty in the muddy roads

I made you some more paper boats

I didn't know they cut me
till the last paper stained red
