Pieces

They are scattered all over the place
Can't you see where they are
Don't you see that sparkle
Where the sunlight bounces off your window
One's right there along your bedside
Next to the heel of your slippers
There I see another one
Waiting for your vision next to the makeup
One enlightens your room at night
From the fake neon stars on the ceiling
Look another is resting on that spoon
That you used, to take that cough syrup
There's one bathing in that solution
Feeling your eyes through your contacts
Another is leaning against the perfume bottle
Looking for the essence behind your presence
Oh there's a sad one waiting on your door knob
Welcoming to your room other male visitors

How can you not see them when they are all around you
Pieces of my heart hopelessly praying
To experience any simple instant of your life
To keep this torn heart beating
To keep this lonely soul breathing
