Finally found the pieces of me...

by Matthew Schut   Oct 13, 2011


I walk along this lonely path
With just the pieces that you left
I'm sure I will find "me" somewhere
I seem to have been theft

Oh, here is my personality
That used to be so charming
I find it decaying in the grass
Some would find it quite alarming

As I continue walking this path
I find small pieces of my soul
It used to be so loving and caring
But now is filled with a black hole

Up ahead I can see two objects
Hidden so high in a large tree
These eyes that used to stare at you
Now have forever abandoned me

I walk a little further,
I just found my right hand
The one that always held yours
And proved to others, I was your man

I bend over to pick up another piece,
I've found my lips, that were so soft
Always kissing your forehead goodnight
And I would never use them to scoff

I almost have all of the pieces
But I am still missing the biggest one
So I continue walking the cold path
Wishing this nightmare would be done

I can see an object, torn to pieces
Barely moving in the dirt
I gather the pieces and hold it close
And wipe away the blood with my shirt

I have finally found my heart again
And now that I have all the pieces of "me"
I'm going to walk away with tears
And force myself to be happy...

    Wow this is my favorite poem of yours.

    Brilliant!

    You can see you walking down the long path picking up all the broken pieces of what you used to be. You can feel the pain you feel & the hurt that was caused. As you try to walk away putting yourself back together.

    It flows wonderful & draws you in to keep reading.

    Amazing Job. One of your bests.

    What I love the most about this amazing poem is the rhythm, it felt so right.. I was moved especially by :

    I can see an object, torn to pieces
    Barely moving in the dirt
    I gather the pieces and hold it close
    And wipe away the blood with my shirt

    ^ you have created so much beautiful imagery with simple wording and also great scenery that are suspenseful
