Crying Without a Sound

You hold my heart in your hands

And courtesy surely demands

That you don't drop or break it

But you've already treated me like s**t

So my heart now lies in shards on the ground

And I am crying without a sound. 

You could put the pieces back together

You could make me feel all better

But you just stand there like you don't know what to do

Even when I insist that I still love you

While I try and look you in the eyes

But something says that your words are lies

You say, I still love you, too

But you're turning into someone's else's arms, aren't you? 

While I still lie broken on the ground

Still crying without a single sound

He says he wants to help me

But it's you that I want to see. 

The shards of my heart are turning to dust

Blow away in the wind they must

And I snatch at them without hope

Is it true that without you I must cope? 

I know that all I did was confuse you

But you did the same telling me you love me, too.

No one can please everyone at the same time

Hence why I seemed to commit such a crime

As to give you up, to let you walk away

Even though I'm still begging you to stay

But I might as well remain silent for all the good it did

Nothing seemed to make a difference no matter what I said.

You have a good concept and you've expanded on it fairly well, but I'm not really a fan of your addressing the audience so much in this piece. I feel like it would work better if the piece was shorter, but at present it feels a little stagnant.
