The Bits & Pieces
‘Whoosh!’‘Crash!’‘Bang!’ The walls came crashing down
Leaving me defenseless; so exposed to the world and the horrors it brought,
Every which way I turned was another lover and ultimately another broken heart
I set out on my own journey, one of self
One in which I may never return; but it was altogether worth it - if I could just find exactly who and what I was.
I met you along this road
Not black and blue but, emotionally bruised; just like I was. You held me close; I held you closer.
You engulfed me in your love; I entangled you into my soul. You were your own Queen; I longed to be your king.
No lust, no infatuation
Genuine desires to be everything you needed. I loaned myself to you
I tried piecing you together with my own sweat, my own blood, my own heart.
No need for returns, ‘causes as long as you were with me, I was made whole
Now a hole is where my heart was, my blood has become poison and my sweat fills my eyes
And I ask, Why ?
Why are you so eager to run away with my Bits and Pieces?
