Dear Heart ~

A bruised and bloody heart It's all I see right now Bits and pieces missing How I wish I had them all I think about the piece you have And wonder why I gave it Can I say 'I want it back'? Because, I think you hate it What have yo done with my dear heart? have you squirreled it away? Added to your ever growing collection Damned to be just another one Dear heart, I'm sorry what I've done to you Tearing you apart I wish I could fix it, make it up to you, But I don't know where to start I can see that bit of heart I gave you Thrown aside in the corner of your mind You carry on, so unaware of its sadness over being there Hidden under a pile Of all your rash and wanton thoughts Smothered by things you wont let go Stashed away in your dark and brooding heart I think about the piece you have And wonder why I gave it Can I say 'I want it back'? Because, I think you hate it What use is it to you now, Since you've gone and left me here? Now I sit, alone and bitter And you're off drinking beer I hope you treat my dear heart well You may not want it, but it's there I tell you this so you can't say That you were unaware Because that bit is part of me And I'm still very fragile So please don't cause it much more pain Because I know that I can't battle A bruised and bloodied heart, That's the image in my head But soon that heart will heal And I will move ahead.
