How Many??

How many 

pieces?

How many 

parts?

can you 

smash open

my heart.

How many 

times?

How many 

ways?

can you 

crack open

my soul. 

Before 

I break.

Before 

I no longer

wish 

to love.

Before 

I no longer

care.

Thousands?

Millions?

of times?

I stopped 

counting.

Like stars 

scattered.

Like dust

sprinkled

beneath 

your feet.

Stop

I beg you.

Stop

before 

my love

stops to

beat. 

Before 

it turns to

hate.

Before 

It is too

late.

Before you become

a shadow of the past.
