A love letter, from a jealous office supply

My bones are so tiny

They aren’t big enough to hold you the way I would like to

But I hope that you don’t take size into consideration.

People look at me and question the amount of love I possess

I’m weak.

I know it.

I know that I can easily be manipulated,

But I don’t mind if you do.

I’m just a tiny little detail

You make me feel so small

There are too many days when I wish that I could hold you whole…

But you always choose my roommate

The one with the steel grip

Yeah.

I know you like being groped by the stronger ones

But I

I can offer you a softer side to love

That no one has ever been able to show you.

We have no walls in our home

So

I’ve been watching you undress yourself for a man that only wants to bind your words together.

He doesn’t give a shit about what you have to say!

But I admire the flexibility you have while he humps you

I know that you can easily escape my grasp

But I’m just sitting here wishing that you would give me a chance.

Wishing that you’d see the bullshit he attaches to you

He just likes your slim figure

I mean. I like it, too. But I love your words more.

He takes advantage of you

Why can’t you fucking see that

Love can’t blind you that badly

I’ll let you take advantage of me

Call me desperate,

I’m just sick of being the nice guy

People just bend me any which way

And I hate it

But I hate myself most for letting them do this to me

I just want to be loved

So the day you can’t handle putting on your make up anymore

And you just want to be a blank slate

I will be here to hold you

Run away with me

Or let me run away with you

Because we both know that you’re the stronger one

Wherever we run,

However long it takes us,

I will be here holding you

When your insides feel floppy

I can’t guarantee that I’ll catch you when you fall

But I can promise that I’ll fall twice as hard with you

I know my roommate has left his mark

But I can easily make you forget about him

I’m flexible too.

I'm a paperclip.
