"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.

"Holes in My Heart"

I have holes in my heart--
So many empty spots.
It's hard to love them all,
When you're the one they forgot...

It's hard fitting in--
So many different locations.
Every new place,
Seems like a different vocation.

New faces,
New names,
Until time
Erases them all.

Or even worse,
I remember them all.
And time always rushes--
It never stalls.

So many holes in my heart--
And every wound hurts.
She lived a lonely life--
As an endless flirt.

I have holes in my heart--
But that's nothing new.
I couldn't fill it up,
Even if I wanted to.

Trust me, I've tried--
I've even cried.
The pain never ends--
It only subsides.

I have holes in my heart--
Why should I leave it intact?
I'd much rather take it out,
As a matter of fact.

"Earth Shattering"

My body aches--
So, my heart is breaking.
My smile looks real--
But I'm only faking.
My feet stands still--
But the ground is shaking.

"Hollow"

Hollow look,
Empty eyes,
A broken heart--
A web of lies.

Empty words,
Yet still kind.
A shallow heart--
A fragile mind.

Distant,
Yet still polite.
No longer an angel--
She's lost her light.

Torn in two--
And not the same.
And one con artist--
Takes all the blame.

"Here Lies My Heart"

Here lies my heart,
Crumbled up in pieces.
I'm missing you--
And I don't know the reasons.

Here lies my heart,
Whispering give it another try.
But my head keeps telling me--
That it's time to say goodbye.

"You Were Beautiful..."

I thought you were beautiful,
And that you cared...
I thought you were beautiful,
Until you left me there...

I thought you were beautiful--
Until you broke my heart.
I thought you were beautiful--
And now we're worlds apart.

So, who will pick up the pieces--
Of my broken heart?
So, who will pull me back together--
Now that I've fallen apart?

"It's All Left Broken"

A broken heart,
A broken mirror,
Trying to fix it?
Leave it broken.

Pick up the pieces?
Or leave them scattered?
Put myself back together?
Or does it matter?

Try again?
Maybe tomorrow?
Maybe then,
I'll lose my sorrow.
