An ember was born and became a flame
It soon burnt out and only did remain
A piece of what once was my heart
Destroyed by this life, torn apart
The smoldering smell is putrid
But worst still is the hatred
Away with love it lashes
Now I am only ashes©

Two halves of me don’t total one
I know longer have a sum
Tallied parts, I’m still not whole
Lost and have no control
Look each day but don’t equal
To check again is needful
Hope somewhere along the way
That I will add up one day©

There’s a big hole in my heart, a piece that is gone
Didn’t realize it was missing, don’t know how long
I found it one day, it was on the floor broke in two
Saw a name on this piece, it was signed out to you
I gave you this part, you forgot that you loaned it
Tattered, bruised…Did you realize you owned it?
Drowned out my cries, forsaken and so hopeless
Lost to the sadness and will never feel wholeness
Light is fading from my eyes, see they are muted
Emotion is not here anymore, I have been looted
Coldness has crept in, and like a thief it is taking
And is just leaving behind a deep, painful aching
Searching for comfort, something to fill the void
Not sure I’ll find it, before my heart is destroyed
So I wander this life, not sure what I will look for
But I am so certain, don’t want to hurt any more©

You are my hideaway
Where I long to be
When the world gets tough
Your love rescues me
You are my shooting star
When I search the sky
The light to guide my way
A twinkle in my eye
You are my sweet melody
Rythm to my feet
Giving my heart a song
Make it skip a beat
You are my precious gem
Diamond in the rough
You’ve been cut and shaped
Life’s made you tough
You are my all and everything
With you I long to be
No question, this love’s forever
Between you and me©

As I shudder, my heart’s aflutter
Love is intoxicating, heart palpitating
The joy it brings, all earth sings
Looking in your eyes, there’s my prize
See your soul, under my control
This great pleasure, it has no measure
Love’s worth, brings such mirth
With this vow of trust, virtue is a must
Breaking a heart, could tear apart
My greatest endeavor, your love forever
Guard our bond, charms abscond
Come in from the cold, have and to hold
From this day and more, as I swore
Together as one heart, never will we part©

Her heart was so fragile
Given with such care
And little did he know
It was so much to bear
He held it with caution
Not wanting to break
Caressed it and whispered
“Won’t let anyone take”
But once he forgot
He left it unguarded
Open to heartbreak
Soon became parted
The light became faded
Turning heart to stone
He learned the hard way
Never leave her alone
