My Heart the Mirror

My heart is breaking piece by piece
a little every day.
I bury each and every shard
so that in the dark they lay.

The pieces cut like broken glass
a mirror that's been shattered
no longer there to reflect my soul
but severs what once mattered.

I wish that I could resurrect
this heart with pieces lost
and put it back once more together
then forgive what it has cost.
