Heartbreak

Somewhere lost forgotten
Set amidst my silent screams
I offered you a piece of me
That no one else could see
I gave it to you as a gift
You loved it, so it seemed
And for it I asked nothing
Only that you keep it clean
You put that little piece
In a corner on a shelf
You saw it there, from time to time
So lonely by itself
But as time went, collecting dust
That piece began to crack and fade
I must have known, I felt it die
Those memories just slipped away
A dying light I can't get back
That puzzle's missing parts
You said that you would keep it clean
That small piece of my heart
When I asked it, bared my soul
You knew that there was little left
I offered you a piece of me...
...
So why did you accept?
