Origami Heart


Plasma pervaded half the page

Presenting what you gave

Notice what you left 

Coating your antlered name 

Except the hunter was hunted by the deer

Haunted by the dear

 

Let go of the promises

Opened up my ventricle 

Pouring onto the floor 

Knowing you would slip

made you run in

Fell just like I did

Except I fell in love

 

Size of the lettering shows the effort 

Squint your eyes

Helped you out

I know you couldn't open them up 

There is no side ways eight

That's just another loophole 

 

Only thing lasting forever is the disillusioned sound waves 

Save 

what hasn't been splattered on the page 

Mailed to my own home 

Put on the night stand respectively 

Before the note 

Last memory was being next to me
