"Letting Go of You"

I don't give my heart to anyone--

But I gave my heart to you.

I don't really open up to anyone--

But I opened up to you.

I didn't want to be with anyone--

But I wanted to be with you.

I don't go back and forth with anyone--

But I'd go back and forth with you.

I don't look back for anyone--

But I looked back for you.

I didn't do this for anyone--

But I was willing to do it for you.

But you wanted someone else--

So now I'm letting go of you.

"Stuck in Isolation"

Closed ears,
Closed mind,
Stuck in isolation.

Closed doors,
Closed heart,
No visitation.

No one,
Nobody,
Left all alone.

Not here,
Not there,
She's all gone.

Knock. Knock.
Who's there?
She sees no one.

"Broken Fragments"

These are my broken fragments--
Limb from limb,
And torn apart.

These are my broken limbs--
Bone from bone,
And misplaced about.

These are my broken bones--
Piece by piece,
And all worn out.

These are my broken pieces--
Here and there,
And scattered all about.

Here's my broken heart--
Harden and blackened,
Until it rots out.
