Papered Heart

Cut me out from your parchment

Fold me in half, admire my figure

Make the lines straight

Make the creases indurate

 

Make me shipshape

Don't tear me, mend me with tape

Don't strike me down with my worst fear

I shan't be your bait, i rather disappear

 

Make me wonder, Make me ponder

Will you learn to think of me fonder?

Will it be now or never?

Hopefully it will be happily ever after

 

Cut my heart in two

Make it fair, make it even

Cut it right through

Half for me, half for you

Papered Heart

Cut me out from your parchment
Fold me in half, admire my figure
Make the lines straight
Make the creases indurate

Make me shipshape
Don't tear me, mend me with tape
Don't strike me down with my worst fear
I shan't be your bait, i rather disappear

Make me wonder, Make me ponder
Will you learn to think of me fonder?
Will it be now or never?
Hopefully it will be happily ever after

Cut my heart in two
Make it fair, make it even
Cut it right through
Half for me, half for you

What a neat poem! I really like this. Firstly, because it matches my display name. Hahaha, but anyway, I thought that you epitomised the whole essence of a paper heart really well. You chose some excellent vocabulary which worked as a major advantage to the overall feel of the poem. I love the stanza:
'Make me wonder, Make me ponder
Will you learn to think of me fonder?
Will it be now or never?
Hopefully it will be happily ever after'
It just flowed amazingly! I would never have been able to come up with a stanza like that!
The only real issue I have with this poem is the ending. I feel that, for such a strong poem, the ending is a little weak and that it doesn't really feel like a complete ending.
However, this was a really sweet piece, which was very well-executed. Great job,
