" A Puzzle of a Broken Heart "

My heart is like a whore
For I've given it to many men/guys.
Without questions, without expectations;
With only ONE exception:
The ONLY thing I've ever asked for;
The ONLY thing I've ever expected
Was for their LOVE in return.
But, without exception, without fail
Each one took my heart,
Crumpled it up, and threw it away.
Like my love was worthless, a simple piece of trash;
Something that was easily and frequently discarded.

Then, pieces of my heart started floating around,
Like a piece of paper tumbling in the wind
And I have to gather them up
But some of them will be lost forever;
Some of them I'll never be able to find again.
But those pieces I do regain,
I will try to put them back together with what remains.
So that my fragmented heart will once again be whole.

For now I realise that it isn't worthless
My love is valuable and priceless.
And I saved it for you dear,
Someone I know will treasure my love;
Who will treat it like a special gift
That I've given to you and no one else.
And I hope you will forgive me

For the pieces that I have given away....
