Pieces Crumble
A glance from you shatters stars in the sky
The pieces crumble
They fall into the ocean, where they’re washed by the salt
Of the tears of men whose hearts you’ve broken before mine
And though you’ve hurt me, and those before me
My heart burns on.
It burns brightly and furiously, searching for you
Searching for the pieces that once held my world together.
I’ll sail the oceans until I find you again, my fingers
Will touch every inch of the earth
Until I find you again.
