on a piece of paper,
the only thing written is
you.

i tear it to shreds
for it is
unsightly.

however, it
pester.

each shredded piece
still held your
name.

i burned it to
ashes

but from the dust
formed something
inexplicable.

and it made me
regret

ever writing your
name

on a mere piece of
paper.

because the simple
gesture of
affection

turned into a
monstrosity

they call
love.
