Broken People

Broken girl with bitter taste
Shattered man without tears to waste
Clung to each other forever it seems
Holding on to broken dreams

Arrivals bright without a care
Departures to I know not where
A desperation fills your soul
I never knew what was my role

So now you're gone for good you say
The questions haunt me every day
Am I enough for someone new
Or will I die loving only you

The pieces flew for miles around
That last day you made not a sound
Just crept outside into your car
Determined to travel very far

I found the pieces one by one
Endeavored to survive with fun
And then on quiet Sunday eve
The telephone knocked me to my knees

Forgotten was the one who tried
Who held me close when tears I cried
My only hope from then to now
Was that you'd come back home somehow

But you're too broke for me to fix
And lest we have these pieces mix
Into some people we don't know
I'm glad you chose that day to go

Gathering pieces here and there
My life is good, and I don't care
If you return I'll smile and say
Sorry golfer, go away
