Paper Hearts

Our love was like a spark
That died into ashes
We had a sudden light
It faded to grey
We never could keep the flame
Too late we discovered
The spark did not last forever
It died on the ground

Our hearts were like the moon
When it’s full and shining
The mirrors to our souls
Glowed like the stars
Lost in one another
A woman and her lover
The moon could not stay full forever
It turned its face away

Our love was like the wind
When it kindly warms you
It cherishes your skin
And covers the scars
The storms were never distant
They came when we weren’t listening
Like paper hearts love blew away
Never to return
