How often do you...

[riverain]

Paper Hearts

A heart that's broken
Ripped and torn
A heart to you
Alone is sworn

I've lost all hope
You've drained my soul
You've broken me
You've reached your goal

My paper heart
Can't take this strain
I can't endure
This loss and pain

Next time I'll fold
More carefully
Once I'm tuned into
Reality

I'll walk away
And not return
How useful
All the things I've learned

I see this world
In shades of grey
There's nothing left here
But decay

A heart of silver
A heart of gold
A heart of stone
A heart so cold

I've tried to forget
These memories
I've tried to achieve
Serenity

But this is a wound
That time cannot mend
'Cause I'll always love you
My dearest friend

This has nothing to do with anyone at all - not even me - it just is.
