Paper Cuts

Neville

Paper Cuts

 

Faceless

Paper dolls in chains

Cut and strung from magazines

Watching as each heart bleeds a mere paper cut apart

    Faceless.

    A painful metaphor.

    But maybe Iā€™m just having a grey paper day...

    • Fay Slimm.

      Hearts that close should never feel more than a whisper away when apart.......... another good slice of food for thought Nev.

            Yes we do see them along the high street, in their chains of magazine picture devotion. Hearts bleeding from failure to connect with the rest of humanity..... but some of them look marvellous.

            • Neville

              With so very many possible interpretations, it is almost impossible to be wrong... thank you DA.... N

                Faceless, paper dolls are truly dangerous to a man's heart. However, with a face, some flesh, and a name, they can hurt even more. Great little thought provoking ditty. Loved it.- Phil A.

                • Neville

                  That'll do for me... cheers Phil.... N

                  Thanks Neville.

                  An excellent poem.

                  We must preserve paper more to prevent the pain.

                  Keep writing Fine B.

                    Those faceless ones can bring pain to us all.
