A map to your heart
Like a stick man
I danced across the pages of your heart
Page after page
Ream after ream
Living my dream
Time passed so fast i got lost
in the origami of your emotions
Found myself torn out of your story
Floating away on a breeze of regret
As you faded into memory
Naïve, my age splashed across each sheet
I never dreamed you’d cheat
Your expression blank
like the new page I’m trying to turn
Our lives smudged with tears
Our love erased by mistakes
Where did we go wrong?
But there’s no paper trail
So draw me a map back to your heart
