Shattered Pieces


Shattered pieces on the ground,

Shattered pieces all around.

These are the pieces of my heart,

It's been this way from the start.

 

Into the darkness and despair,

A life without love, with too much care.

For now, I am safe in the arms on another

But if I lose them I'll be gone forever.

 

I won't be able to live, for I don't know how.

That is one of my only fears,

and that fear haunts me,

Makes me shed crimson tears.

 

Yet maybe I won't cry because the heartbreak I've already felt,

Having the pain of a belt.

Shattered pieces of the night,

Shattered pieces fall at twilight.
