unknown

They argue and fight
They get louder as the night grows colder
Mom and dad never agreeing on anything
Dad in a druken rage
Mom trying to defend herself and child
She finally gives up
She packs his stuff
And forces him to leave
He leaves with a suitcase
And a chunk of his daughter's heart
As she cries not understanding
Not being able to comprehend
Why she has to move in with grandma
She sits on the porch
Waiting for dad to come back
Yet he never returns but for a few fleeting moments
That do more harm than anything

The years go by and she attempts to grow up
Trying to ignore the pain
She attempts to love with the remaining part of her heart
She falls in love quickly
Never looking back
He can't make up his mind
He doesn't know if he wants to love her
But its too late by the time he decides
He already has a piece of her heart
And she's already moved on

The next boy does a better job holding on
Yet he cahnges her
Not overbearingly, but he manipulates
Manipulates her into changing
She stops some habits
And picks up others
None against her religion or beliefs
None unhealthy
But all not her
She freaks and ran
Ran away leaving a piece of her heart
He simply leans back in his chair
And looks at the trophy

The next boy goes against her famly
He loves her
His emotions are clear
His intentions are also
Neither one of them matching with hers
She tells him good-bye and leaves a piece
Before he can realize his dream became real

She moved into the arms of someone unlike the rest
So unlike that no one believed
It didn't last much longer than the last
Fate told her when it would end
So she ended it early
She pushed him towards a freind
She wanted him to be close
But she couldn't be next to him
She couldn't let her heart break again
But it was too late
She already left a piece behind

She moved onto a summer love
That lasted into the school year
He was the one she had longed for
He was the high school crush
She did things she swore would never happen
And she didn't enjoy them
Or have anyone to talk about them
She creid alone in her apartment

Not understanding
Not being able to coprehend
Why she kept letting people leave
Why she kept giving them a piece of herslef
When they didn't deserve it
When they only hurt her
At such a young age
She must attepmt to start
With only half of herself
She wanted to love with all of herself
She wanted prince charming
To wake her up
Yet she still lays asleep
Dreaming of the one to come
As the tears trinkle down
From the ones who have left
She sleep walks throu life
Unable to make a connection with anyone
Friendship or love
Neither one last long
She fears leaving another part of herself
So she goes by never living life
Never making eye contact
Never smiling
Never being herself.
