paperclips




holding
forever bound
together
beware
don’t lose
if lost
never
never found
all is free
anyway
they want to be

no rules
no context
no paperclip
nothing is safe

one day
they’ll fly away
hold on tight
don’t let go
keep the clip
fixed in place
paper clips
holding paper together
people clips
holding people together
hold on tight
don’t let go
keep the clip
forever in place

never say forever
you can’t promise more
than this moment

you are in
you are out
you are wild
you are free
flying about
dying
dying to be
bound once more
safe and secure
permanent

tightly fastened
together at last
together forever
never say forever

i wont promise more
hold on tight
don’t let go
keep the clip
fixed in place
paper clips
keeping paper together
people clips
keeping people together
hold on tight
dont let go
keep the clip
never in place

paper clips
keeping the paper as one
people clips
holding no one tonight
