Papercuts
It's like this.
The papercuts, when first inflicted, light and innocuous, felt sharp and bled quick. Papercuts are never intentional but always scathing. A week of papercuts left me bewildered and clarified the mist of long-distance love into practical thinking.
Maybe - maybe I should just give it all up.
Maybe - maybe papercuts are not worth it.
Then, just as quickly as they were inflicted, they left. Just light scars that almost never existed. And then I go on with life with no more maybes.
But I wonder, how many tiny tears can I suffer on my fingers, before I stop using paper altogether.
