Paperweight
I made a paper airplane
From the paper heart
You made me.
But it took off
And flew away on it's own--
Make it again.
I wove a paper chain
For the paper doll
You made me.
But she broke the chain
And hopped the next breeze out of town--
Make it again.
I found a paper-trail
For the paper-clip
You made me.
But it snapped in two
And the paper-trail lost all control--
Make it again.
For all your paper-cuts
And all my paper-work
Our relationship--
On paper--
Seems pretty...paper-thin.
But then again,
Looking through the shreds
Of our notepaper love
I see, in between the lines,
The truth of my paper rhymes:
You made me.
Make me again.
