Paperweight

Paperweight

My world was gloomy and full of cryptic monsters until you came along

A buzz cut and tattoo on my wrist and you still taught me how to be strong

You believed in me when no one else did and even sang me a song

You take me places I’ve never been and we would ride the skyline all day long

Walking back and forth and still, I wasn’t in my normal state

I was like a restless paper without a paperweight

With a messed up mind and unusual heart rate

I didn’t know how to turn my feelings to moderate

When you found me, you were always there to somehow humanize me

But now that you’re gone, I don’t even know who I’m supposed to be

You’d lift me up from my dark thoughts that’s drowning me in a dead sea

And stop me from doing bad things to bad people that prey on me

I met you at the wrong place and the wrong time

Otherwise, I’d still be yours and you’d still be mine

I can’t keep pretending every day that everything is fine

When all I do is think about our hands that were once intertwined

I was a restless paper and you were the paperweight on my back

But now, it’s like you’re nothing but a mere flashback
