Pieces Of Me

Lost in the neverland,

beaten and broken

If you look around me

you will see,

just pieces

scattered here and there

Look at that,

a piece of my heart

red and bleeding,but 

not dead,

still beating

I let it go,but 

it didn’t let me

It still has blood,

It still has love

Look at that,

a piece of my eyes,

glassy and tearful

I wanted it to shut down

I wanted to suck out all the dreams, but

it didn’t let me

It wanted to see,

the mystery of tomorrow,

the after of sorrow

Look at that,

a piece of my leg,

all slaughtered and chewed

I wanted it to stop walking, but

it refused to do so,

it wants to travel,

so many places to unravel

Look at that,

a piece of my hand,

shaking and trembling, but

refusing to let go

of the pen

of the verse, still

floating in the air

I wanted to give up, but

 it didn’t let me

So many more

chapters to live

So many more

chapters to write

Look at that,

a piece of my soul,

lying robbed and slain

I wanted it to leave me, but

it is still holding on

Holding on to me,

the little child of it,

waiting for it to grow

Look at that,

a piece of my body,

lying naked and wanting

I wanted to leave it alone,

to let the thirst die,

to douse the fire

But,

It is burning on,

eating through the darkness,

beaming through the pyre

of a dead yesterday

and looking forward

to the better tomorrow
