Give back the piece of me you took when you left
That wound just doesn\u2019t seem to want to heal
And I\u2019m afraid that I\u2019ll bleed out onto someone else
Someone not deserving to have to deal with the mess
Left behind by my interactions with the past
But I can\u2019t manage to sweep this all away
I\u2019ve tried for what feels like forever now
To find a way to seal that hole for good
But I don\u2019t know how to fill all these gaps
Your absence has left in me and my life
So consider this me groveling at your feet
Hand over what you ripped out of my heart
So that I can be closer to complete
When I find the person that\u2019s supposed to have that piece\u2026<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
