Pieces of Me

In shadows, I linger, where love used to shine,

Trying to find hope, but I'm drawing the line.

It's hard to keep searching when you feel out of place,

With every rejection, I wear a new face.

Once we were forever, or so I believed,

But love turned to ashes, and hope was deceived.

I gave and I gave, with every tear shed,

But now all that's left is the weight of regret.

I was lost in the promise, the dreams that we had,

Now I’m just a shadow in the life that we've spanned.

Why is it so easy for you to move on?

While I’m piecing together the pain that you've drawn.

What’s the point of love when you're bound to fall?

When I’m standing here broken, barely standing at all.

I fought for our story, I clung to the fight,

But with every rejection, I’m lost in the night.

Each time that I falter, each time that I break,

I’m reminded of how much was at stake.

Youhing when you feel out of place,

With every rejection, I wear a new face.

Once we were forever, or so I believed,

But love turned to ashes, and hope was deceived.

I gave and I gave, with every tear shed,

But now all that's left is the weight of regret.

I was lost in the promise, the dreams that we had,

Now I’m just a shadow in the life that we've spanned.

Why is it so easy for you to move on?

While I’m piecing together the pain that you've drawn.

What’s the point of love when you're bound to fall?

When I’m standing here broken, barely standing at all.

I fought for our story, I clung to the fight,

But with every rejection, I’m lost in the night.

Each time that I falter, each time that I break,

I’m reminded of how much was at stake.

You walked away easy, while I stayed behind,

Now I'm stuck with the echoes of love unkind.

You had your fair share of missteps and falls,

But I’m the one tethered to these crumbling walls.

Why can’t you see me through the pain and the strife?

I just wanted to share, to build a new life.

What’s the point of love when you're bound to fall?

When I’m standing here broken, barely standing at all.

I fought for our story, I clung to the fight,

But with every rejection, I’m lost in the night.

But I rise with my children, I show them my might,

Through storms and through shadows, I’ll find my own light.

Though love’s been a battle, I’ll learn to let go,

With hope as my compass, I’ll find my own glow.

What’s the point of love when you're bound to fall?

When I’m standing here broken, barely standing at all.

I fought for our story, I clung to the fight,

But with every rejection, I’m finding my light.

So here’s to the future, with lessons in tow,

I’m growing stronger, through the high and the low.

True love might be waiting, beyond the despair,

So I'll keep on believing, through the cracks, I’ll repair.
