Pieces

You took pieces

over years and years

and I never noticed at first

they were so small in the beginning

oh, just a piece of my trust here

a piece of my heart there

‘til overtime I felt

a wholeness disappear 

the little added up

you took all the best for yourself

you didn't exchange or replace

you just left the empty bits 

collapse in its space

you watched me crumble

and then said I changed

you made me feel unlovable 

and unworthy of grace

see you took so much of me 

I don't even know what's left

I don't know how to function

or even think for myself

i’m so scared that anything I say

will unknowingly give more of myself away

because how did I let someone take 

all of my joy and all of my love

and then make me feel like I was the one insane

-and I took the blame

while you took all of me

but I will learn

and grow from this

and eventually

i’ll hold the strongest piece
