Words on Paper - Dool

A piece of paper

So clean and white

I see the letters

I know what to write

I pull my hairs out

And I tape them on

I see the words now

I’d read aloud

But we obey the laws of the physical

Like words on paper

Like a portrait drawn

We obey the laws of the flesh and blood

Like words on paper

Like a portrait drawn

A dirty mirror

Staring back

I could paint the blushes

Carmine red

I pull my nails off

And I tape them on

A vile expression

I pick up the brush

But we obey the laws of the physical

Like words on paper

Like a portrait drawn

We obey the laws of the flesh and blood

Like words on paper

Like a portrait drawn

You’re in the painting staring back at me

You’ve come a long way, I know

Come walk the path to my reality

You’ve got a long way to go

Your eyes are hollow

Your lips are cold

Your voice is muffled by the sheets

My mind is broken.

No words come out

Your hands are covering my mouth

I’ll just say nothing
