Papertowns ( poetry fantasizing about person )

In my story love conquers all ,
It was warm spring it came
down to fall ,
With you in my mind I have
crossed the bridges and
miles I have traveled ,
I hung in the air still
keep building the castle ,
I am in hope some other
way some other day ,
You will go and unwilling
I have started the countdown ,
If you visit the lakes visit
my papertowns.

There are no hope there are
no promises ,
There is a longing of the play
acted is what I am missing ,
I am in your magical existence
you don’t even know it keeps
me on the fire ,
I think it’s not you it’s my
fantasty town I desire ,
It’s not your fault I should
pulled the bridge before you
crossed ,
Fool to think flames
wouldn’t reach me if
I keep the door locked ,
Now I see it all go down ,
Now I will see it all burdown ,
See around I have burned
everything to keep alive my
papertown.

It’s just cold like you ,
Wondering what I put
myself through ? ,
Now flowers blossom here ,
No nightingale sings ,
There is a particular view
from the window that
I cling , I cling ,
The papertown burned
in the summer ,
Could never survive
the winter ,
I hope and hope what
spring might bring ,
Can’t seemed to fly
with the paperwings ,
I can’t let him go he
was lead actor in
my daydreams ,
You ryhme in my poetry
I get weigh down down ,
If you ever came to meet
me again I will tell
you about my papertown.

Papertown is poetry about how hard it is to let go the idea of perfect relationships or perfect one and only that you keep dreaming about. That some people are better off as fantasy.

Thank You for reading!
