Paper Cuts

I have paper cuts,

that spell out the wedding vows,

you forgot to make.

I have paper cuts,

that tell me to wait, sleep, hope.

I am impatient.

I have paper cuts,

that feel like your warm embrace.

I can’t stop reading.

I have paper cuts,

that tell a sad love story,

but I cannot cry.

I have paper cuts,

that will never recover.

Heal me. Heal me, please.
