Birth of a Paper Heart


I carried a sketch of a heart

on a paper in the wallet of my mind

Yet it was empty and flat as the sky


I felt it leap to life one day

as you strolled by... laughing

You smiled and my heart breathed


Every day is a drowning flood

Trying to stay afloat on moments

Gasping for the only love I long for


Together we share a world that lives

Apart, I struggle to exist with others

since the day this paper heart was born
