"a system of linked sounds" - [poetry dump]

papercuts (eng)

one sheet of paper
is all it takes
to make one incision
burn forever

and just like that
Your love became a papercut
deep inside me
it made me hate your guts
and the way you cut

so, if love
always hurts like this
burns a hole in your chest
and leaves you missing pieces
never to be found
I don't want it ever again

you gutted me
like you would a fish
chose the "good parts"
and left those
you didn't want
but I desperately needed
scattered on the side

you cared about yourself
and heaven knows
I'd always let you
but you should've paid attention
to what you did to me
and care for me
just as I did for you

sure, go!
do your origami
fold your own fish
just how you like 'em
but don't come whining
when you cut yourself
and feel the burn
on your fingertips
that I feel in my heart
to this very day

so with all due disrespect
fuck you
and fuck your fish too
