PAPER HEARTS

First dinner, walls thinner

Had the perfect smile, mind juvenile 

Heart rate spiked, sweaty palms wiped!

Handed five roses, looked you in the eye!

the most beautiful thing, I cannot lie 

The warmth of your lips on mine

same as your red wine 

Time changed 

unexplained 

Now apart, 

lips, cold as your heart!

sitting back, drank whiskey neat

watching sheds and cheats

she was the one, knowingly 

slipped through my arms

had none 

To grow old in the farms 

No one to blame, 

Nothing to claim 

Showing a bad presage,

Overcoming the fear of stage 

Loved for a minute, hated in the next 

Was it easy to end things with a text?
