Pieces II - a poem by Mark Cidade - 2002-05-03
Friday, May 3rd, 2002You took your heart back
And said that you never actually gave it to me
That it never was mine,
Even though I shared my heart with you.
I still had time to see what was there.
You can deny it all you want
But I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
And I should have realized from what I saw
That I saw enough.
I knew all along
That your heart had been blackened.
I felt its icy touch first-hand.
Some parts were brittle and crumbled too easily
While others were simply petrified.
So, have your fucking heart back.
I should have never gave you mine.
All I ever wanted to do was help you.
Silly me.
