Origami (May 8, 2011)

Could you make something out of me you wouldn’t next destroy? Am I a gallery project or a stupid children’s toy? Whatever did you do to me to pin my feet back down? If I could I’d run away but I’m stapled to the ground.

The only way you seem to love is like ripping origami. All the care and time is used to tear it all apart. Fold me like a paper crane and scissor off the wings you claim. Confetti on the floor is all that’s left of me, the origami.

Oh love, my very skin is crawling off my shaking frame. I don’t know why you smile at this sick and sorry name. The words that tumble off my lips are falling off the page. Set me free, I swear I’ll never leave your paper cage.

The only way you seem to love is like ripping origami. All the care and time is used to tear it all apart. Fold me like a paper crane and scissor off the wings you claim. Confetti on the floor is all that’s left of me, the origami.

Crease my eyes, till they see through you. Make me cry, the paper tears will follow you. Crease my eyes, till they see through, till I disintegrate.
