Little Pieces

My heart is lying in pieces

Shattered at my feet.

Reflecting a billion images,

Of a wonderful past

Shredded into little bits of paper.



My you box overflows with letters

Too painful to reread

A past that was once wonderful

Shredded into little bits of paper.



You have your good looks

You have you incessant charm that drives anyone into madness

And I have my past that was once wonderful

Now shredded into little bits of paper.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I didnt write this poem out of a personal trauma, but i think that everyone can relate to it one way of another. Just remember to take from the past and learn from it rather than watch it shredding before you

First off- awesomely written yet again (i found ur site again and saw ya had updated). Second- i don't believe it isn't personal, reason being taht we (humans) all have a lil, as you call it, "you box" for various different people from our pasts buried deep in our minds...which is waht im fairly certian you were referring to. I really like the logic in this one...it has something in it that im sure everyone can relate to. Especially the 'bits of paper' from the past. Great poem- as well as your other 2 new ones
