Bent and Beat

we suffer through common themes
drawn from separate perspectives
with years and miles between them
the plot line though was conceived by my hand
and these characters that i've created
you and me
they feel the pain that is upon the pages
they have paper hearts that bleed in the rain
and though we may pretend to use it to suit our moods
the rain comes and goes of it's own will
some wounds never heal
just allow the paper to cut more deeply
