Alright this is a little old, and I'll give you guys some love poetry some other day.

"Paper's Tear"

Your fingers slide gently down the print
gazeless and broken without stride.

The sentences and abbreviations cut all too short
for this is your gratitude upon my life.

With every lost thought and pulsating reaction
you hate and crinkle me more.

A rage of hostile fury bound by loving compassion
still hands mangle me into thoughtless trash.

Ripped and torn; scorned and broken till satisfied
but you can't fix what has been done maliciously.

Folded is foregiveable,
Creased is fixable,
Wrinkled is forever,
knowing that the paper will never be the same again

I meant to reply to this a few days ago and forgot...stupid me.
I really love this one...a lot. I just found it very unique and touching. The idea was awesome.
Looking forward to more from you. This is going in my library.

This is excellent, Nicholas.
You've done a great job of conveying this
from the perspective of the paper.
VERY nicely done.

I really liked this. I'm sorry I can't give you a better reply, but I'm so numb from well, I won't go into what from, cuz nobody really cares, but anyway, nice write, and thanks for the read.

I really enjoyed this. The context was very unique and original which was a refreshing change and the words were simply beautiful. So hauntinly sad and so touching...lovely.

OOOOO! Beautiful job. Wow...this was a very original idea. Nice work. I'm pretty much speechless. Very beautiful job. It's definitely going in my library for future reading! Ah...I just loved it.

I'm glad I can bring some original thought here and have everyone who read it like it as well. We can all agree that it's not easy being a poet in any sense; no matter how smooth the words flow out. There's sooo much talent here and I'm just happy people enjoy my writings; believe me I got more so stay with me everyone. Thanks.
