Pieces of a broken heart, <br />Rivers made up of tears, <br />Loneliness of no comparison, <br />Hopeless soul in an abysm, <br />That’s all I am. <br /> <br />And though you’ve come to see me this way, <br />You have learned how to love me, <br />You’ve come to give me what I need, <br />You’ve come to save me from myself. <br /> <br />Trying hard is what you do every day, <br />Not noticing I won’t give a chance. <br />To many pieces falling apart, <br />Won’t be space enough to make more. <br /> <br />Fear rules and hate too, <br />That’s all left. <br />But there you are again, <br />Insisting to love me even more. <br /> <br />Maybe I can’t shake off the pain, <br />Maybe I won’t put the pieces back again, <br />But maybe you’ll be the architect, <br />To build a new heart. <br /> <br />I’ve told you I’m dangerous, <br />I’ve told you I’m gonna hurt you, <br />I’ve told you I don’t want to play games with you, <br />But still there you are, waiting for me. <br /> <br />Taking the risk won’t be the wisest thing to do, <br />But if it is, I’ll owe you my life, <br />‘Cause there you are back again, <br />And I know you’ll be the one able to save me from myself.<br /><br />Ana Lia Zaldivar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ll-save-me-from-myself/
