Paper

When I'm with you
I'm paper thin
When I get wet
Fragile and broken
With your words
you scrunch me up
Into a ball
Do not touch

Rip me up
Easily torn
In pieces
When you are gone
Into a bird
Fold me up
Make me beautiful
Take me out

On my page
Write your line
Tell our story
Share my time
Roll me up
Set me alight
Burning hot
Hold me tight

I'm not tissue
For the loo
I'm not rubbish
To be disposed
Cupcake case
A sweet treat
Decorated sheet
Animated with ink

Hold your gaze
In a frame
Headline the news
Making a name
Wrote a letter
Sweet words given
Through a shredder
Turned to ribbons
