Only Pieces

By bedazzled

Dust dances through the bleak shafts of light that reach towards my heart. I hide amongst the tattered pages of over-indulged denial. I strain towards any warmth just to find myself on fire; burnt out, scorched hope, blackened pulse. I'm only pieces. I tiptoe over fallen obstacles with grey eyes like concrete swimming pools, inhaling poison on the breeze sighing 'come with me'. Running away from light, to find myself so dark; icy thoughts, frozen will, icicle dreams. I'm only pieces. Would you save me from myself using your own hands or just weave a net to catch me made from tangled lies and sweet deception, would you? Would you hear the voice within my hands or just kept playing the same bass line to override the sounds you cannot stand to hear, would you? The world is bent, I'm not for rent because nothing is for sure. I won't pay the leases, I'm only pieces of what I was before. Dust dances through the bleak shafts of light that reach towards my heart but don't illuminate the hidden words 'I'm only pieces'...
