Pieces of his heart

The pieces of his heart
she held in her hands
she hurt him
oh did she hurt him bad
he would have done anything
just to see that smile
he would have given her the world
even if for just a short while
but she couldn't see it
or maybe she didn't really care
that he longed for her touch
her gaze, the scent of her hair
she gave him a chance
not much of one at all
it appeared she only lifted him up
to watch him fall
day after day
he tried his best
but she didn't seem to notice
just thought of him like the rest
she didn't think of the consequences
on that fateful day
when she told him it was over
it would be better that way
but without her he couldn't survive
he tried over and over, day and night
but nothing took her out of his head
to him she was Mrs. right
so he took the ultimate sacrifice
and took himself from this place
and on that day she finally realized her mistakes
and lived everyday in disgrace
The pieces of his heart are now a memory
