Sacrilegious

It's a song I wrote

Throw it away

that never-ending cycle

Toss it out

My broken shattered life

Reaching towards

the darkness deep within

Sacrilegious

Can't be precious

crumbling to pieces

I'm raining on today

I'm taking it all away

I held on for too long

waiting for our song

Standing all alone

in the center of the room

Strangers passing by

with pity in their eyes

as I hung my head

tears staining my eyes red

What kind of love is this?

The kind that I'll never miss

No commitment

no fulfillment

Sacrilegious

can't be precious

crumbling to pieces

I'm raining on today

making it go away

Don't bother looking for me

I'm setting you free

I never had a choice

unable to find my voice

Were you the prisoner? 

Or was I?

Bound by this sacrilegious lie

The love that was never born

emotions that were so forlorn

Sacrilegious

Can't be precious

crumbling to pieces

I'm taking it all away

saving it for another day

Promises that were never kept

created tension that never slept

Silence was our norm

awaiting the next storm

Too tired to piece it back together

start looking for better weather

Why did you leave

me behind  with this stranger,

This stranger who is so unkind

I thought we had something special

something that was worthwhile

Sacrilegious

Can't be precious

crumbling to pieces

I'm saying my goodbyes

leaving you behind

This is a good piece. The concept or symbolism is very poignant. Feeling tossed aside and heartbroken is universal and you express the pain vividly. However, I think perhaps it could be tightened up a bit or edited. Maybe delete the refrains unless it is meant to sound more lyrics.....
