A PIECE OF MY HEART

Is it them

Or is it me?

I think I've asked this once before

But now I ask the question again

Because I'm right back at the start

Without a place

Without a heart

I had a heart

I know I did

But it's broken now, beyond repair

From all the sorrow & all the pain

From all those pieces I gave willingly away

& all those pieces that were stolen away

A heart can only be scattered so far

Before it fades to dust

It can only be crushed so many times

Before it bleeds to death

& when it's dead

It's cold

But it will beat until the end

For all the things it loves

For all those souls it tried to help

For all those souls it tried to save

Those souls it cared for so, so much

Despite their selfish rejections

Those souls turned on this poor heart

An eye succumbed to blindness

& threw straight back all that compassion

In ignorance & error

No thought of how the heart would fare

No thought but for themselves

Yet even still

This broken heart will search forever

Spread across time & space

It will paint itself on the universe

Weave among the galaxies

Mingle with the stars

& so when the day you dread does come

Where you find yourself alone

Look up to the sky

For there you will see a meteor

A blazing piece of pure love

A piece of my heart falling just for you
