Andrew Travis Poet Free verse

My Paper Heart

I slide my feet across the floor
 trying to find an open door
I stumble through it in a daze
 my Heart's on fire,
   my eyes ablaze
The sunlight burns and
     I can't see
Close the shade and turn my feet
For a second I think
 I see you right there
   Staring back at me through your wispy red hair

And then I wake up

And begin a new hell
 my eyes are open
But my mind's a shell
I unfold my Paper Heart
 I take up my pen and then I start
I write about you and I;
   the happiness we shared
       and the tears we cried
Splotches on my Paper Heart
  raindrops from an empty soul
Then I fold up my Paper Heart
Wipe the tears and I embark

The existence labeled on my Paper Heart,
   a revelation of 
                         Not
                               our time apart.
