Description: The more people fall in love, the more often that person becomes jaded when love fails. At least, that's the way it is for some people.
I always think that the memories of those we loved are mostly kept intact by how much of our heart we gave them. And this is a play on that idea...that the reason we remember them..is because our body yearns for those pieces of our hearts to be returned.
Or at least replaced.
Pieces of my Heart -------------------------------------------
I can feel it already welling up inside
That familiar taint of remeniscing
On things that could have been
But never came to be in this life
Remembering the sad songs I sang
Tunes that connected to me inside
As I wonder where you are now
How you are doing without me
I can remember how your hair looked
How your smiles could fill my heart
But would you even recall my name
Let alone the face that watched you
Staring into your eyes I felt important
But am I now even a a memory?
Is there a place for me in your past
Or am I just a shadow of time
People who I still think about now and then
Wondering what it would have been like
Maybe I would be worse then I am now
Or perhaps I'd not regret the decisions made
But the questions still linger in my mind
Ghosts of mistakes that haunt me still
Scratching at parts of my heart I don't have
As those pieces were given to you long ago
I'll never have those parts of me back again
Always with you, part of my emotional history
Scars etched into tissue that will never grow back
Amputated from the organ as I felt I was in love
Do you remember my tears of longing?
Or the eyes they fell from?
And would you remember my support and care
When you finally look back in your mind
Am I still standing there somewhere in your head?
Just seeming to wait on and on for you to notice
Maybe that's why time seems to never change
Because I'm frozen in a dream, waiting
To be remembered
To recieve that love I gave
To be given the pieces back
That my heart has been missing...
