Heart Like Paper

A paper has thousands of words written on it Some in bold, while some in brackets What's written in bold captures the attention of the beholders While what's written in brackets holds secrets that nobody knows It is only the author who's aware of those treasured secrets Only she can decipher the meaning of that language As she found those words too sacred to not be penned down on paper But here's the twist Someone got hold of her secrets And decided to tear the paper off before someone else could read them He said he was protecting your privacy But in reality, it was his privacy that was in jeopardy Because it was all him on the paper It is all still him she thinks about now and later The pieces of that torn paper still reside somewhere What's left on those bits is ink that trickles down slowly everywhere You can tape the paper back together But it's too fragile to keep itself together It will tear into tinier pieces when you remember who tore it in the first place Now imagine your heart being that paper The words being your feelings The bold ones being everything you expressed The ones in brackets being everything you supressed And after the storm The shattered pieces were the bits of your broken heart The trickling ink was the tears running down your face And well, the destroyer being that one person who still hasn’t rested his case!
