PIECES

 

I gave a piece of me to you,
A piece of my heart for
You to cherish.
How was I to know you
Would lose it?

My heart was beating in
Your strong hands.
I wanted you to hold it
Close, but instead
You held it at a
Distance.
What, did you think
My heart would stain?

Once I got close,
Only once.
I looked at you with
My next glance,
Your hands were empty.

I trusted you,
I loved you.
When I finally found my heart,
You were standing on it.
My heart was shattered,
In Pieces.
