Pieces
I glanced at my watch
Its face read eleven
That's when I said
Goodbye to you tonight
That would be
If memory serves me right
The earliest and shortest
Goodbye in history
If only I could
Hear, see, and feel
What was bothering you
Where would I be in life
I try so hard, maybe too hard
To figure you out
To put pieces together
Of the broken girl I love
I've never been known to
Just give up
But this one time is different
Because you've asked me to
It hurts me to know that
One, I'm not allowed
To care for "my life"
And two, that I was asked
To give up, something
That's never happened before
But what am I to do,
Just understand and bear it
My feelings of which I show
Will be tucked under
The matress, again, for another time
When everything is better
Which seems like never
So will I ever
Know the answers to
The questions I've asked
If only I could
Hold you right now
After you've sent me away
That's all I want to do
I'd come back in a heartbeat
Just to have you in my arms and
To put pieces together
Of the broken girl I love
I won't stop caring about you
You have to be outta your mind
If you even considered that
And I love you
And you'd be blind
Not to believe this
I know things are hard
Especially in the life you've lived
And continue to live each day
But I know that God gave you me
To love and to hold
And I was given you
Because he knew I'd never let go
Please see what I'm doing
Is not meant to piss you off
I just want to know what hurts you
Because I love you
Don't hate me
