My Hearts Shovel

A hole is forming in my heart
And you were the start
You dug the shovel in and took a chunk out
You didn't even listen when i cried out
The pain you've cause me 
Was another piece of my heart
Which you leased for a while
And then tore apart

When you said goodbye
The hole turned to a pit
To which my sorrows could fit

Then came the day when I had to stop
I picked up my shovel 
And began to fill the pit
WIth laughs and happy memories 
Anything that would fit
And one day I realized 
My pit was a mound
I'd filled it up and even added
New ground

I know my hearts shovel will be passed around
And i know how to fill it
With new soil and ground
This is just the start to the 
Never ending cycle of filling
My heart
