Pieces

I carved out my heart

to stop its ache

I held it in my hand

and watched its shape

But the pain didn't stop

the void consumed me

I dropped it on the floor

like glass it shattered

I tried to put the pieces back

but most were missing

I was left with blooded hands

and a heart half-finished

I pretend i'm okay

but i'm not the same

i wish I'd been strong enough

to stand its ache
