Premium Member Paper-Thin Lies
Her piercing eyes burn through paper-thin lies, igniting fear as flames erupt inside. And reluctantly, she breaks down and cries, trying to salvage what's left of her pride. She believed you both had found your soulmate, and thus, never thought either heart would stray. And she struggles with bouts of love and hate, as she watches her dreams slipping away.

Premium Member She Ran From His Paper Thin Smile
He was a smile. Just a smile. He was only ever a smile. He was never anything but that first smile. When he looked to her, and her to him, And was lost in his charm and his grace, When she thought she saw love, a real spontaneous stir, As she gazed deep into his face. He said the right words,...

Paper-Thin Paintings
Breaking through the darkest night, suffering no more My dreams are of a deeper place, everything adored Everything alive, now there’s no such thing as death Eternity accounted for within a single breath Walking through an open door, leaving thoughts behind I drift beyond the maddening love I couldn’t find Nothing is forgotten, but I can forgive it all So much truth...

On Paper Thin
You squeal on clarinet I scratch on violin Difference between us Is paper thin? In Plato’s cave I crave your flesh Your shadow is all Desire can save. You squeal you say To me music play I scratch all day To you I pray These words we change Inked art to begin Inscribe loves mind On my paper thin....
