Scraps of my Heart

Folder: 
Love Poems

A picture here, a memory there
and I can't find you anywhere...
You left my life without a care
and you left me unaware

Of why you left me far behind
suddenly with not a warning
parting words less than kind
leaving me forever yearning

Scraps of my heart lay beneath
sweet words once spoken to me
lost now on this barren heath
where your love once used to be

I hear your voice over and over
and try not to let in the pain
I hope for a four leaf clover
to wish you back to me again

I see your eyes again so warm
full of so much promise then
passion there, a raging storm
forever now remembering when

Scraps of my heart lay beneath
sweet words once spoken to me
lost now on this barren heath
where your love once used to be

Wondering where it all went wrong
What it was that made you go
breaking the melody of love's song
feeling I will never ever know

I never thought saying I love you
would ever bring me so much pain
but you never gave me any clue
they would cause such a strain

Scraps of my heart lay beneath
sweet words once spoken to me
lost now on this barren heath
where your love once used to be

Yes it lays in tatters beneath
sweet words once spoken to me
lost forever on this barren heath
where I thought love could be

But now I see...
