"Paper Cups"
Despair spills from my eyes
There is no one here to know,
My heart being far from home
I cut it out with my own knife
Gave it away to you
My sewing skills are lacking, I fear
The stitches already coming undone
The blood is showing through
Please come back to me
I need the patience in your hands
To fix what I cannot
Without you, my sun does not rise
She waits patiently, resting
For the strength in your arms
As you hold me close to you
A reminder that you’ll never let go
For your warm breath
As it trails down the back of my neck
A sign that you are still there even as I close my eyes
For your touch once again
As nothing else can heal my hurts
A way you single-handedly bound me to you
But for now, I have to wait
I’ve put these tears in a paper cup
Saving them, to show you later
For there is nothing that can be done for now
