Taking a piece of me

Here I stand …

Naked in a darken room

Exposed to you… nothing hidden… nothing shield

The dim light of my soul

Illuminates the path into my heart

A broken tattered heart

With many missing pieces, torn away with time

My heart was once complete, before I met you…

But after giving my love away to you

I’m left standing her naked, exposed and vulnerable to you

The light of my heart is slowly fading away  

My heart is waiting for you to come into my life once again

Tears rolling down my face

Knowing that you will only take another piece away

Another crack forms in fragile heart

As a new pieces prepare to break away

What is it this time…

What caused the break …

Was it a lie?

Is it infidelity?

An insult?

Your horrible words that burn into my soul...

I clutch my chest and take a deep breath

I see only a shadow emerge from the corner of the room

The shadow that resembles you

You have returned to me  

With every step you take, the piece begins to break away

As the faint glow of my heart illuminates your face

A smile forms and you take hold of the piece

Your other hand gently strokes my face

Why do you show an act of affection

When you’re here just to take away the piece that you need

I lift my face once again to see your face

But I’m too late… just like you walked in, you had left

With the piece of my heart in your hand

I left behind… standing all alone

In the darkness of my heart and soul

I find nothingness

As tears roll down my face
