In Pieces...

The heart is a complicated thing,

Its embers always burn

It comes apart in pieces

sometimes

pieces unreturned

We give our heart so easily

away with just a glance,

then suddenly we wonder why

we ever took the chance

Expectations build to form a rather hollow shell

We cast them onto all our dreams

but watched them as they fell

Love.

We search for it in everything,

our hearts aren't made of stone,

but when we find it and it leaves

we wonder what went wrong.

was it something that we said,

or was it something else

why does everything we give

seem placed upon a shelf

When we give our hearts away to where they don't belong

we can easily be found singing this sad song.

We were never meant to give our heart so easily,

but rather with tenderness and care

to give it cautiously.

Guard your heart above all else we've heard the scriptures say

but what happens when its too late, and you gave a piece away.

God's Love is in everything, beauty comes with time

If you wait then you will see, a love that is sublime

Do not base your deepest wish on what you have been shown...

Base your hearts desire on God's Love and Him alone...

(Proverbs 4:23)

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

(Song of Songs 2:7)

7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
