A Piece of My Heart

Poisoned Pain

It’s not a shadow
It’s not a dream
More like a monster –
That version of me

I sip the poison
It flows through my veins
Reminding my heart
How I crave you again

So the monster takes over
And I do these things
I hurt myself all over again
It’s embarrassing

And I don’t get embarrassed
I don’t have regrets
But then pain meets poison
They become best friends

So I dialed your number
Saying everything, but nothing at all
I apologize for being a monster
It wasn’t me – it was alcohol

Beyond Repair

You can’t fix her,
No one can.
It’s not your fault
You’re just one man.

She tried to play,
Tried to pretend
The damage is done
No making amends.

Walk away now –
Don’t look in the rearview.
You can’t fix her
You’re not super glue.

She’s far past
The lost and found.
There’s no repairing
What’s long gone now.

This One’s For You

I’d do it all again –
Run through the pain
Eyes wide open
A million times
Over and over

If it meant –
For one last time
I could fall asleep with you
Laying my head
On your shoulder

Part II 

You were like a fine wine
I couldn’t afford
And every time I saw the bottle
It made me want it more

I could see you in my glass
The mood set by candlelight
Scared of what I knew was coming
I told myself ‘afford it tonight’

Tell the server to leave the cork
Then swirl, inhale – take a sip
Close my eyes and let them rest
Indulging in the lusciousness

Getting lost in the shades of grape
Tracing the rim with my fingertips
Before I knew it the bottle was empty –
Leaving purple stains on my lips

Unlocked, Open Heart

No matter where I am
Or how much time has passed
There will always be room for you
In this heart of shattered glass
