The things you try to hold together;
The pieces have already fallen.
It’s too late for you to pick them up.
Pain it comes and goes;
A never ending process.
Like the wind passing by;
I can no longer believe the lie.

Our relationship;
Of love and hate.
I bury the memories in the ground;
For all is pain that can be found.
It’s too late;
I’ve already moved on.
So keep trying to pick up the shards;
The glass will prick and cut;
Let the wounds bleed.
It is the death of it all.

The author's comments:
This piece has to do with a break up from an abusive relationship-getting out when you know its the best thing. Love cannot bind us to pain and suffering only pain and suffering keeps us trapped in the repetition of the abusive relationship.
