Paper Heart

I was once an empty sheet,
not until you made some spaces
and painted it with red inks.
You filled those hollow places.

Fragile thin.

You made these feeble hands
scribble with looming affection,
and I've written worlds I used to
imagine when my world met yours.

Heart pounding.

The river dances, blossoming flowers
while my feelings were trapped in reverie.
You made thousands of seasons in my pages waiting to be a painting.

Painful writing.

I saw it coming, but I chose
to enjoy all of my secret fables
rather than crying knowing that
you are only an abstract subject.

Heart crampling.
