Loves Pieces
Loves Pieces
Like discarded shards of glass, the pieces of my heart
Lay in broken disarray since we have been apart
I loved you then, I love you now, what more can I say
Did I hold you much to close, did that push you away
Is it something that I said, something I spoke in haste
Did I hurt you with my words and leave a bitter taste
Perhaps something I did not say that you longed to hear
A kind word or platitude like how much I love you dear
Could it be the way I look. Perhaps I've changed too much
I'm no longer as attractive and you no longer crave my touch
Or perhaps you just know me so well, you've grown bored by me
Familiarity breeds contempt they say, you don't like what you see
But wait, who said the problems mine, that I'm the one to blame
Who said that I'm the reason that things are not the same
I still have so much to give, my love, my heart, my soul
I'll pick up all the pieces and find someone to make them whole
