Here you are all two dimensional
Flat and plane
One wrong move on my part
And you disappear
I need to poke holes in that fabric
Let my gravity leak through
And pull you closer
Or push you further away
I can’t find anything sharp enough
To penetrate the surface
You’re like Kevlar
I need a hollow point bullet
Filled with contempt
‘Duty is an ugly mistress’
So why keep going?
Take a good look and decide
Cover my face with kisses
Because if you go
You won’t ever see me again
Gravity

Lovely, I don’t now why but now I keep thinking of the song Send In The Clowns.

Hey, I really liked this. Here I am picturing a Mr. Paper (two dimensional).but he’s made of Kevlar. This was a good one. Like the way you ended this too.
