| paper hearts |

my legs fumbled around

struggling to maintain posture

you helped me up

lifting me from this

world of fakes

for reality was awaiting 

ready to guide me

and so i teared away this fantasy

crumpled it into a ball

and threw it out the window

you led me through the cave

my savior. my hero.

and then you left me

with two words- paper hearts

i didn't get it then, but i get it now

a piece of paper is replaceable 

just like a heart

you were gone

yet no matter where you were

you still helped me

you were irreplaceable

not a paper heart

unlike me

i was just a scrap character

you were the main character 

notice the change of articles 

for it's quite important

there is only one of you

there are millions of me

for i'm just a scrap character

struggling to hold himself up

and sometimes i wonder

if it's all becuase of you
