• Paper Cuts

   

   

  So I know it’s a little late, but this is my Valentine’s post. (By the way, I had an amazing night on Valentine’s Eve. I took an amazing and beautiful girl to a banquet hosted by the college, then we went mini-golfing and had loads of fun. )

  This poem could’ve gone a few different ways, like the melancholy way most of my poems go. But I decided Valentine’s has enough depression surrounding it, so I’d change things up a bit. I like the way it turned out, and hope you do, too. So without further adieu, here is…Paper Cuts.

  Paper Cuts

  My hand is now bleeding

  From a fresh paper cut

  As I try to write;

  But I’m stuck in a rut

  See, I can’t think straight

  Whenever you’re around.

  I can’t say anything right;

  Nothing witty, or profound.

  So I thought I might

  Write a letter to you

  Saying all the things

  I don’t, but always mean to.

  So don’t mind the blood

  That’s turned into a stain

  For the feelings that I have for you

  Outweigh this small pain.

   

  My head is now bleeding

  From a gaping hole

  That a flying bullet left

  As it passed through three seconds ago.

  But don’t worry about me;

  I will be alright

  Since the men who tried to hurt you

  Have fled into the night.

  As long as you are safe:

  That’s all that matters to me.

  And if that means my death,

  Then my death means victory.

  So don’t mind my blood

  As it grown into a stain

  For my love for you

  Far outweighs the pain.

   

  My heart is still bleeding

  From a gaping hole

  That you, my love, have left

  When you passed on three days ago.

  You were my guiding star

  When I lived in life’s night.

  When all was once wrong,

  You came and made it right.

  In darkness throughout the years

  A light, you’d always shine.

  Though I did once save your life,

  It was you who truly saved mine.

  So even though your heart

  May never beat again.

  I know I’ll see you soon,

  And that helps me ignore this pain.
