in.pieces

Thrown aside shattered, broken…

I’m in tiny pieces

A reflection of a half lived existence

of one great big sad lie.

 

it’s funny what we settle for

in times where we want more.

it’s clever that your words are exactly

what my ears have longed to hear.

it’s sad that all they’ll ever be are meaningless.

promises you made but never meant to keep.

 

I’m in pieces here

disregarded

you left me on my own.

I’m in pieces here

I gave you all my love

but you don’t want it anymore.

 

Ego bruised, Heart torn

the melancholy of me blows restless

on these winds of change.

I’m not sure how I can carry on.

 

it’s crazy the lengths we go to

just to keep from being alone.

it’s maddening how easy

you can walk right out that door.

it’s scary to fall so helpless

into the darkness of what’s no more.

 

I’m in pieces here

disregarded

you left me on my own.

I’m in pieces here

I gave you all my love

but you don’t want it anymore.

 

you don’t want me anymore.
