Do you ever feel broken?‎
Like there's a piece inside you, ‎
That either doesn't fit right
Or is just gone completely?‎

And you wonder why it's like that.
How it came to be broken
Or misshapen. 
It wasn't always like that.

You can remember a time 
When everything was good.
When you didn't feel broken. 
When it was all a perfect fit. 

Before you met him.
Or before you lost her.
That's why you're broken. 
Because that person took a piece. 

When you met him 
He was special.
You gave him a piece of you
That you can never get back.

And when you lost her.
A piece of you broke.
And now you don't quite fit right.
It didn't go away, it's just.... mis-shaped.

So while a piece of you is gone
Remember it's okay.

While that piece is misshapen 
Remember it's still there. 

It will heal
And it will get better.
Because while you feel broken.
It's a great thing to feel.
