Description It stings, like a papercut ...


... given by these words I am enticed to write


As do the enticer of which they speak;Β  they ring with such influence


The sound, so dreadful, it makes my ears bleed ...



Is it better, indeed, for lightning to strike you down


So that we are torn apart by force


In the life given to us, most would disagree


They think the cold wind of death akin to a nightmare.



Or ... is it more painful


For the gravity, the flames and sparks of life, to melt your glue


So that we have have strayed apart


Unable to bind the torn paper back together ...



I can hear you, but I can no longer feel your presence


You have disappeared, wander the world alone to this day ...


No. It is only I, of course, that you have lost.


And though a disdainful notion, in the least, I did believe ...



It's alright, though; indeed, you shall live on in my mind


Though it is only an illusion ... you are somewhere else, outside


Perhaps you have forgotten me, and I will be trapped


In this past, our past, to only repeat over and over, never ending?



Or perhaps, you do remember me?


At the most extreme, you recall me as I do you


And I am granting you the same bittersweet pain


Even apart, I am no good, your pain, my tears ... pathetic.



I still see those days, live in them even


Though they were agonising, I am now left with greater agony and a bittersweet sting


I was truly blinded by the light of the past, thinking only of myself


I blotted you out.



...


You have inspired me to write these words. In a way it is akin to a letter from you.


Though painful, written on torn paperΒ  by bloody hands, rough edges, and riddled with papercuts


Though stained with my tears, nostalgia, and miserable means of interpretation


I must dare to utter the words ... thank you, my dear friend ...



(Life does not care if its objects become dirty, bloodstained ... life must go on, mercilessly, and without an end ... the cycle repeats.)

I have trouble letting go of the past aswell, but if my past were any different I would not be on the correct path.

Papercuts are so annoying. It cut me once as a kindergartener and it hurts so bad like hell.

Yes ... they're absolutely awful, and remind me of many awful things.

No problem. I may not be a natural poet, but at least I can inspire others to make more. : D
