Paper Hearts

Paper hearts with broken wings
caged in dark, sight unseen
angels shot out of the sky

Paper trails with white washed faces
secret letters to hidden basements
tiny voices left to die

Paper cuts with rainbow bruises
wounds that crust, blood that oozes
no one left to hear their cries

Paper hearts take flight in dark
with silenced dreams on broken wings
some set free to fly
