Pieces
I sit here alone, Awake and afraid, Watching it all burn down, I burn all my bridges- -with this heart of stone, I come to you, A scattered mess of pieces- -no glue or tape could mend, I watch you walk away, And I lose you too, I've tried so hard, So hard to be someone else, But even in pieces- -I can't be someone I'm not, So I'll stay on guard, Maybe someday I'll find someone- -with more than glue and tape, Who can put these pieces back in place, But for now I sit here- -awake and afraid, Afraid of the endless future, Waiting for the next hit and run.
