a piece of my heart

I took a little piece of my heart,

and gave it to you.

Did you hear the deafening cries it made

when your too-tight grasp

shattered it?

Tomorrow, the pieces

 shall mend,

and my heart shall be whole again.

But, I become weary to 

love another.

I took a little peace of my heart,

and gave it to something greater.

Did you hear the relief

when my faltered soul

filled with song?
