“A Piece Of Me”

How do I begin to say
the things within my heart?
So many nights I cried for you
because we had to part.

How can you explain a feeling
to someone who doesn’t know?
How does one understand
emotions out of their control?

Tears began to fill my eyes
no longer were you “mine”
I gave my heart and soul away
and all I did was sign.

You see the time we had
together went by way too fast,
I think about you everyday
and make the memories last.

They said I couldn’t do it
they called me names and such,
they just had no clue
that I loved you this much.

Many nights I prayed to God,
to help me get through this,
He listened every night as I cried my self to sleep,
and he found you a good home so me you will not miss.

No one said this would be easy
and I didn’t expect it to be,
The hardest thing I’ve ever done
is give someone a piece of me.

How can I be selfish
and want to never let go,
You have a loving family
that you have to get to know.
