Missing pieces

A million special pieces go missing from my heart
Lying shattered on the ground, where I fell apart
Picturesque background of sunsets in the night
With weeping willows shaking in the midst of all their fights

I'm searching for those pieces, gone missing from my soul
Wholeheartedly I want them, to make me truly whole
While I lie awake at night, I speak a gentle prayer
Come back to me my loved ones, if you should only care

Missing pieces from that twinkle, that lay there in your eye
Which faltered then disapeared as time passed us by
Replaced with the very fear, that we all feel and cry
As weeks turn into months and our bitter tears dry

A love that once did flower in each and every mind
Has wilted oh so gently on the beaches left behind
As I wander down the shoreline, throwing stones into the water
I search for a piece, a man, I used to be his daughter

A million different pieces, each one missing from myself
As I find each precious lost one I place it on my minds shelf
A million different pieces, each as perfect as a tear
Once I find every last piece, there will be no need to fear
