Tissue Paper

Tissue Paper

Resilient though you are,
at the slightest pressure
you break, you tear.
Your secrets are spilling like fine wine
spreading across brand new carpet.
You cannot hold your feelings inside,
not any longer.
You rip in half, a sheet of paper
brightly colored.
Thinning.
Colors running,
blue, red, green,
staining all around you.
Bleeding.
