PETALS

Paper Thin

You whispered lies and placed cold promises on my lips. Interlaced venomous fingers with mine and cursed me with flirts. You held me gently but you pushed me into a hell. I walked down a black path you painted gold. I believed the lies you weaved into my brain and the plastic love you sewed in my heart. I was paper thin your eyes. I was see through. You'd wright on me what you wanted me to be.
    I did not see the dark gravel beneath the soft warm sand. I thought you were what I had perceived you to be. So i ran across the sand without knowing the darkness below. You shielded me from the gravel so you could keep me around. You slammed your doors when I began to walk treacherous grounds. I was paper in your eyes. You wrote what you wanted me to believe.
      You tattooed your unfaithful lips on mine. Permanently glued your arms around my waist. Drew your hands on my butt with marker. You placed your sexual suggestions into my naive brain. You passed me a blunt laced with sadness. And soon it intoxicated me. Because you saw me as paper thin. I was easy to you. You crumbled me and yet managed to make sure I wasn't wrinkled.
     Overtime the sadness you laced that blunt with became a drug. While you dragged me into the gravel I was spinning an escape. I wanted free of your controlling hand but I never could achieve it. I spread my lips into a smile at your face. You'd smile at me but your cold eyes could tell the truth. I realized you saw me as paper...I was paper thin to you. I was paper thin to you?
     I untangled your venomous fingers. I scraped the golden paint off the black road. I ripped the thread that sewed your lies into my brain and the plastic love you sewed into my heart. I dug up all the sand to reveal your black gravel core. I removed the tattoo you placed on my lips, ripped your arms from my waist, and gave back the blunt laced of sadness. I converted my forced love to hate. You will not see me as paper. You will not crumble, write, see through me, or throw me away. Because I am NOT paper thin.
