PIECES OF US

Ever Felt Like You’re Drowning in A Never-Ending Pool of Frustration???

I Tried to Be Strong but I Don’t Know What Went Wrong,

I Tried and Tried Yet I Failed,

You Still Left and Set Sail

All We Had Turned to Dust While My Heart Started to Rust

Now I Lay Here in A Crumpled Mess

I Hide My Tears When I Say Your Name but The Pain in My Heart Is Still the Same

Although I Smile and I Seem Care Free,

There Is No One Who Misses You More Than Me

I Saw Your Reflection in The Moon, My Heart Howled,

Where Are You???

I’m Desperate to See You, To Touch You

Come Home for I Fear I May Go Mad in This Self-Assigned Solitude

My Tears Were the Words My Heart Couldn’t Express

Sometimes I Step Back for A Moment and Remember Where You Are,

We Don’t Compete for Air to Breath or Gifts from The Sun

I Yearn to Hold and Kiss You When I’m Awake but Reality Dawns A Rainy Day

A World of Fantasy and Dismay

In My Dreams You Are There but When I Wake Up and You’re Not There,

My World Is Full of Sorrow and Despair

And Reality Hits Like Rushing Wind, Destroying My Hope and Everything

I Wish This World of Darkness Could Come to An End,

I Lost A Friend, I Lost My Heart,

I Would Give It All Back If Only I Could,

I’ve Said It A Million Times, I Know I Would

I Wish I Could Escape the Endless Pain

Please Wrap Your Words Around Me, So That I Can Know I’m Not Alone,

Please Take My Loose Threads So That You Can Weave Them into A Poem,

My Heart Can No Longer Stand Any More Hell,

So, I Ran Away to Be Forgotten,

But I Was Lost in The Deepest Pits

Because My Heart Was Gone and Shattered to Bits

In an Endless Garden of Flowers, I Will Always Pick You.

Your Presence Lingers Around Me,

It’s Like You Are in My Blood,

Your Absence Stings My Core Deeper Than the Ocean Floor

Remember;

Sometimes We Do Not Sleep to Rest, We Sleep to Escape Pain and Sadness.
