A Quarter Left to Give

Missing image

A quarter of my heart is dangling at last

three quarters has already been taken

Through several years I had a blast

there were several that had me shaken

 

A little of me given away to you

every time I believed I was in love

Though seldom any of this was true

but at the time you were enough

 

The crimson flow within me is pumping slow

well come on, only a quarter of me ticks

Through the trials of goodbye theres sorrow

and I have taken a several thousand licks

 

Alone I sit tonight filled with pure emptiness

for I can only go on with what I have in me

Years and years of such pained unhappiness

there's nothing left in this world for me to see

 

I shall move forth with a quarter chance of living

for once another steals it away I am gone

I am tired of loving completely and tired of forgiving

I wasn't the one who had done somebody wrong

 

Well here I am in the pathways of another trial

my hearts beating fast pace and I am falling

Stop please, don't tease me with that smile,

oh here we go again, a thief of love is calling...

 

And now there's nothing left to give....

I Don't Move On
Never moving on hurts. Tell me about it.
by Dead Hair 575 points, ends June 19, 5 entries
I'm moving on, moving away from an old school and old loves. But I've left my heart behind. Every man I've ever loved holds a piece of my heart that I feel I can never get back. In that way, I will never move on.

Never moving on hurts.
Tell me about it.
There are no rules.

  • Wow, that's sad...
    We do diminish from lost love, but maybe there is something we can put inside that missing space. Good write.

  • Oh how fragile love is

    Just when you think you have it, it is gone sometimes pushed sometimes chased sometimes it just walks away. Leaving us empty inside. All my love,Rick
