“WHEN A PIECE OF ME DIES”

IT WITHERS AWAY,

TIME MAKES IT GO,

IT FLIES EVER SO SLOW FROM ME,

IT HURTS, IN MY SIDE, IN MY VEINS, IN ALL I CAN SEE,

NO LONGER HERE, NOT WHERE I NEED YOU TO BE,

MY HEART POUNDS SLOW….SO SLOWLY,

I AM NOW LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE PIECES OF ME,

THEY ACHE, THEY STARVE, THEY SEEMINGLY BLEED,

THEY LOCK ME UP, THEY WEIGH ME DOWN, I AM NO LONGER FREE,

EVERYTHING IS A STRUGGLE AND MY BREATHE DOES SEIZE,

THE HURTING, THE NIGHTMARES, ME YOU NO LONGER NEED,

YOU ARE HAPPY, YOU ARE GONE, YOU HAVE BEEN RELEASED,

I THOUGHT IT WAS LOVE, LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY,

I WAS WRONG, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SAY WHAT I KNEW WOULD ULTIMATELY MAKE YOU LEAVE,

I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK UP, THESE HURTFUL WORDS TO YOU I COULD NOT UTTER – I COULD NOT SPEAK,

I WAITED, I PROCRASTINATED, AND HOPED FULLY,

THAT YOU WOULD NEVER, EVER, BE HURT BY A PIECE OF ME,

MY OWN FAULT FOR TRYING TO TALK AT MY OWN SPEED,

MY OWN SELFLESS DISPOSITIONS AND SELFLESS NEEDS,

PUTTING YOU BEFORE EVERY SINGLE THING,

BELIEVING THAT IT WAS BEST TO CONSIDER YOUR HEART  – CONSIDERABLY,

I KNOW YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT, BUT I AM EVER SO SORRY,

MY DEAR, DEAR PIECE OF ME,

YOU LEFT SO SUDDENLY,

HURT IS A SYNONYM, BUT CANNOT FULLY DESCRIBE THE GRIEF, 

THE PAIN THAT RESIDES AND DOES NOT CEASE, 

YOU NOW HAVE THE DEFINITION OF HOW MUCH YOU TRULY MEANT TO ME, 

YOU NOW UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU LEFT YOU TOOK THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE.
