Paper Thin

I have hurt a beautiful soul

I wonder what it's like to be a beautiful soul;

For I am a beast of burden

Hiding my emotions within this origami heart

Fragile paper that easily rips - I beg you

Stay folded!

Maybe in time I will unfold

Not a clean sheet, the same- with the old creases

Barely visible

I will open showing the available space for many new folds

Or maybe my origami heart will rip at all the old creases

And I will fall

In pieces

To the ground

Maybe I'll just leave them where they lie


Amen
