Paper dolls

Who are we anymore? 

Just colors and memories

Of the day before.

We've lost touch of the reality

We created with paper dolls

Sh**

No wonder it was so easy 

To break down our walls

But I painted you so neatly

Against my blank sheet

and

You pulled me from the novel 

You forgot to read. 

Today is just one more day 

That we've lost touch

On paper we were miracles 

But in real life we were never 

Much.

And I will never forget the times 

We shared. 

All the sacrifices we made

Which have now disappeared 

You wrote me out so long ago

Nothing's left but

Broken mirrors

Like a paper doll the water has 

Withered you down

That never stopped us from meeting in the middle, somehow

Until now. 

 

Who are we anymore? 

Just fictional characters with paper hearts

Walking around with missing parts

You'll forever be a part of me

Somewhere in the clouds

A story resides

Two unfamiliar faces

Before there were impossible expectations

We relied solely on imagination

 

You drew me the way that was easiest,

Figuratively shapeless

I'm so much more you see

My dimensions many-

You have painted me with numbers

Leaving spaces where words 

Should have been

There's no turning back though, 

Your portrait's in pen. 

 

Suppose I never poured my soul

Into the bowl you provided me

I never wanted to tell you that it looked

Unclean.

The fight was never fair

I came alive from your fairy tale

Declaring my place

Blowing away your paper doll face
