Piece By Piece
I Break until
Nothing is
Left
of
Me
Erin E Esping Jan 2015
Can't you see
Now
That everything
Everything we wanted
Is gone
Lost
Lost in another world
Slipped out of our hands
Like a bar of soap
Or an ice cube
So fragile
Were our hopes
But's gone now
Out the door
You killed
It all
All of it
Gone
Just gone
And now

So am I

Why?
Because.
Because why?
Because the sun is there, waiting for you, smiling at you, telling you it will be alright. And the moon is there, watching over you, telling you nothing bad will happen. And the stars, so truthful, break the news. The stars fell pity and say the words, and you break. But the stars say, don't you worry, my child, she is with us, we are holding her, helping her, she is safe.
Why do the stars tell the truth?
Because they are the only ones who know what it is to how to be nice, how to be true and how to love.
Why don't the sun and the moon know?
Because the sun, as bright and good it can feel, it is large and cruel behind it's smile. It burns you and rips you apart. The moon, as beautiful as it is, is bound for trouble. It is reckless and not caring about others.
Why are the stars so nice?
Because they are a group, born together, raised together, die together. They know others, and they know the truth about people.
Why did the stars have to tell me the terrible news?
Because, my dear, she is a star, and she wanted you to know, that she was there, waiting for you and watching you like no one else.

I know it has been a while
But time takes me away
I flow by and never return
Someday, however, someday
Busy has called me it's victim,
And I know it is no excuse
But I miss the old days
I used to spend with you.
Please take my apology
And hand more out by the few
Even when busy holds me down,
I now know I have to give time to you.

Help me find a path.
The light inside is lost.
My eyes have been closed.
I guessed I paid the cost.

I need the help
Of a friend.
But they have all left
And there they lead

The battles they have been through
No coward can compare.
And the coward I am,
I sit in disrepair.

So I really help to find a path
And I really am lost.
But I shall open my eyes,
Because I have paid the cost.

I was there
I am here
But where are you
When my times grow near

I been there by your side
Every step, every glide
Every moment of my life
Until one shall die

Remember the cold winters
The hurtful splinters
Mean, cruel bitters
The falling down on litter

I was there
I am here
But where are you,
When my time grows near

Problems I had
Which made me very mad
Where were you
When I needed an extra pad

Please my friend
Come out, come out
Where are you
When I need help

I was there
I am here
But where are you
When my times grow near

If the waves would stop moving
And the wind would stop blowing
Then I could be in your arms
