Love takes a piece of me

Love takes a piece of me

Still so far out of my reach;

Empathy is never free.

All love takes a piece of me,

So take what you must, but never leave. 

All of my heart belongs to love,

So are you the one I can give it to? 

All the strings you pull on are ripping me apart!

So stick with me and become my glue.

Piece me back together,

When I have shattered into a thousand diamonds.

The only thing I ever kept from you,

Were the thoughts that I never mentioned. 

Secrets and lies beneath a truth;

A pain inside that buries my heart too deep beneath the bone.

These are our times to find something new;

A piece of love you hide, I seek to find, so I can take it as my own.

Love takes every part of me.

All I have,

I give.
