My love
The one my heart looked up to
The one that has ruined everything
That could ever remain
My heart made of paper
The one you created
Then destroyed
For your own pleasure
~Chorus~
I thought you were for real
But through all the lies
I saw under your disguise
My demise
~~~ * ~~~
Now torn into pieces
Upon this land
My heart lies forever
Buried in the sand
Forever alone
and forever betrayed
I will never again trust
This paper heart you have slain
~chorus x2~
I am never to trust
This paper heart you have slain
I am never to love
Ever again

I liked the allusion a paper heart , it engendered a sense of fragility, in that it would tear easily , and your lyrics encapsulated your heart was torn by lies , so much so that you would never love again.A great write with a catchy verse ,

Crumpled paper.
Great lyrics in a Poem full of real sorrow and pain.You write from your heart and the experience you have gained is just like the paper torn to shreds and it can never be glued together again.Well written and all the best in the Contest.May your heart mend.Elizabeth -
