Pieces
Heart in a knot
Twisted and tight
I lie in the darkness
And think through the night.
Fallen from grace
And alone for a dream,
I replay that memory
As I silently scream.
Salty, my tears give
A twinkle, then fall.
Burning my cheeks,
Dripping off of my jaw.
Tossing and turning,
You weigh on my mind.
Why can I not
Leave this feeling behind?
Each lonely night,
I grow weaker inside.
Shattered to pieces,
Through you, I have died...
