Madeleine Bloom Paperheart
			
this paperheart 
wasn’t big enough for love 
this paperheart 
could so easily burn 
you did well 
to hide it from me 
by chance 
it might have turned out real 
have you ever thought of my heart breaking 
into smithereens 
have you ever thought of my heart beating 
deep within my body 
this paperheart 
could too easily crease 
this paperheart 
fragile and pristine 
you did well 
to hide it from me 
by chance 
it might have turned out real 
have you ever thought of my heart breaking 
into smithereens 
have you ever thought of my heart beating 
deep within my body 
this paperheart 
if you gave it to me 
this paperheart 
might whisper three simple words 
this paperheart 
of yours
