Paper Hearts

My heart is like paper
Torn into two
Thinking about me
And thinking about you two
I'm in two different places
In two different dreams
In two different worlds
An unlikely nightmare
or so it seems
Searching deep 
For my true feelings
Something I'm yet to find 
A lengthy task
That has overwhelmed my mind
My emotions crisscross
Back and forth
Torn between two people
Who have both given me their hearts
For also like mine
They can fade into vapor
So delicate and fragile
Burned so easily
Because our hearts
Are made out of paper

    Very descriptive entry that metaphorically describes love as being something fragile and ephemeral like paper.
