Piece by piece my heart was sliced
Lies told, believed and shared with spice
Slowly bleeding, scab is formed
Scar and callous with every scorn
Life and love-blood still pulse through
How to penetrate a heart subdued?
Each time a slice is cut away
Seeping blood, means strength will wane
The sudden pain, then numbing shock
Each shaving, sliver that you took
Has wearied body, heart and soul
Though still I am, I don’t feel whole
