I looked inside, but all I saw,
Was loss and pain and hope nevermore,
Neither helping hand nor smiling face,
Just a dark, desolate and empty space.

I searched for my heart but it could not be found,
I listened for the beat, but there came no sound,
All that’s left where my heart should be,
Is an IOU note from you to me.

I gave away my heart far too young,
At so early an age Cupid’s arrow stung.
And you, you are my mystery,
My happiness, my love, my misery.

You hold the pieces of me,
Pieces that can’t be replaced so easily,
You hold my heart, and have captured my soul,
And left me a shadow, no longer a girl, no longer whole.
