Paper Stars

Red paper for the passion we share,
Not out of love,but at the temper flare between us,
Blue paper for the tears I privately shed,
As I tell myself that I despise your very being,
Dropping each folded star carefully into a cookie jar.
Lie by lie,I realize,
It wasn't dislike or hatred that prompted,
This acute obsession of perfectly folded paper stars,
Every fold I make cuts my finger,
As it heals my shaken soul,from inside out.
I hate you and I love you,
You wound me with your words,
You excite me with your anger and passion,
These stars existed because,
I fold them to remind me,
How I feel is out of control.
I cannot face your overwhelming presence,
But I have not somehow noticed,
These stars exist not only to hide my feelings from myself,
But it hides your feelings from me too.

Loved your poem...A very unusual expression of your suffering.

An unusual piece, but still amazing. The third stanza stuck out for me, I loved the wording on that best.
Take care.
