The Piece of Me That Is All Yours

The Piece of Me That Is All Yours

A Poem by Gabrielle Esposito
"

Even six feet underground, your loved ones hold a piece of you.

"

A Piece of Me Deep in the Ground


The Piece of Me That is All Yours

Is still in your grasp


Late at night I wonder if in your clasped hands

You still can feel the Piece of Me that I gave you


When I sleep, I see your smile

The one thing that fills me with warmth


But I turn when I think of you lying there

Your face far from the sun


The sweet breath gone from your body

Never to pass again between the lips that I kissed


The left side of my chest

Is empty and frigid


Because you still have

The Piece of Me That is All yours


On a day when I need you

The tears come and roll off my cheeks


Though I know you took that fatal leap

Because you felt too much heat


You burned, fizzled and finally popped

But I’m alone now, thinking of


The holes in the lining of your eternal bed just like the hole inside of me

It isn't about heaven or hell, but it's the love story I was looking for. See you can write it real. I don't think you were trying to go for such a sad feeling. Honestly please change your picture. And Sal told me to get tickets to see you guys? I am not sure. IM ALMOST DONE.
