~Pieces of You and Me~

 

(To my mom and dad. To all broken homes)

 

Questions cloud my sleepy head
as I lie awake at night,
feel so small, curled up on my bed
wondering who's wrong and right.

Been longing to say to both of you
but my lips could not make a sound,
broken each other's heart, mine too
and these were the ones I found--

Pieces of you, pieces of me
scattered everywhere.
Pieces of you, pieces of me
seemed no more love to share.

I hide among my pillows
I hide under my sheets,
a frightened child in night's shadows
until my heart truly speaks.

Yet in my dreams I still find
the same pictures I've seen before,
torn images of us left behind
all thrown around the floor--

Pieces of you, pieces of me
scattered everywhere.
Pieces of you, pieces of me
pieces of our family...

from these pieces,
myself I will find.
