Tear Me to Pieces

Tear Me to Pieces

 

Tear stains on paper thin skin

Blood pours like ink from within

She’d cried a million times

For a part of her

That no longer exists

She breathes in pain and sorrow

Keeps waiting for tomorrow

For promises

Left unfulfilled

But tomorrow never comes

 

So she hides from the sun

Till it sets at night

Then howls to the moon her plight

 

Refrain

Why not just tear me to pieces

And burn all the parts

To the wind scatter my ashes

It’s better than breaking my heart

I can’t take this forever

I can’t hide from the pain

Why not just tear me to pieces

As all my sins fall like rain

 

So tired of holding on here

To the one she once held dear

He’s dead and gone and moved on

Since long ago yesterdays

She sings like a lark

All alone in the dark

Waiting for something more

Than what never existed

 

So she hides from the sun

Till it sets at night

The howls to the moon her plight

 

Refrain

Why not just tear me to pieces

And burn all the parts

To the wind scatter my ashes

It's better than breaking my heart

I can't take this forever

I can't hide from the pain

Why not just tear me to pieces

As all my sins fall like rain

 

Goodbye to all she used to know

Her time is up she’s letting go

She just couldn’t hold on anymore

So she cried

 

Refrain

Why not just tear me to pieces

And burn all the parts

To the wind scatter my ashes

It’s better than breaking my heart

I can’t take this forever

I can’t hide from the pain

Why not just tear me to pieces

As all my sins fall like rain

Author's Note

I wrote it originally as a poem, but I think it might be better as a song... What do you think?

Reviews

Thanks Laura:)

It works in both ways really.

Thanks Thomas:) Always love hearing from you:)

[KeeD]

It works both ways really :D it makes for an amazing poem and would be a killer song, most song's have poetic lyrics. You have the ability to do both, very cool in my honest opinion. One of your best too!
