Seems I've fallen to pieces
and they've all gone astray
Do you have enough pockets
To carry them away

If you notice something missing
Pay no attention if its my heart
For it was gone long before
I ever fell apart

Patch me back together
When you find the time
If you have the desire
And if your of the mind

Maybe you'll have some use
For a partially fractured man
Maybe you"ll see the light
In my weathered hands
Russell D Oct 2013
With my thimble full of pride
A stone as my heart
I'm afraid the time has come
That we must now part

A thimble the only measure
Of the pride I have left
As for the stone that's my heart
It was put there with heft

Each unkind word a pebble
Now all stacked and compressed
Transformed into the stone
I now carry in my chest

But I will bear you no grudge
Nor hold you in account
For karma takes care of those
Who pull others down

— The End —
