you gave me everything
so i gave you my heart

i let you keep it with you
for safekeeping
but what do i do now
that you've gone and it's broken?
do i bury it alongside you,
or do i keep the fragile pieces and attempt to mend them

maybe
i'll give you a piece
so that someday
when it's glued
and stitched
and scarred from living
i can look back at the missing piece
and think of everything you gave me
