Pieces Of My Heart

by Lynnetta Hoerr
(Pekin, Illinois)

I'm sinking deeper into you
and it's only tearing me apart
cutting deep inside me
breaking my heart
burning alive when i'm around you
peeling off pieces of my heart

Why do i try with you?
Why do i even care?
Dying inside without you
Always wishing you were here

Your words are like needles to my ears
Your eyes like drowning in an ocean
Your smile rips my mind apart
I should have never loved you from the start

Why do i try with you?
Why am i even here?
i would die for you
and you don't even care

You're in my thoughts everyday
I don't know whether to go or stay
and when you left me falling apart
you took with you pieces of my heart
