Paper heart

I read you cover to cover in the neon light,
But there's nothing underneath when I hold you tight.
I keep tearing at the pages just to find your core,
But a paper heart don't beat anymore.
Paper heart, paper heart, beautiful and hollow,
Falling apart.
Paper heart, paper heart, you look like forever,
But you're tearing the dark.
I gave you the fire, but you couldn't hold the flame.
Paper heart, you go up just the same.
You fold up so perfect, you crease in all the right ways,
A origami angel in a cellophane haze.
