The Pieces You Left Behind

I wouldn't have fallen for you if I knew that you weren't going to pick me up off the floor.

I promise to clean up in the morning. Tonight, just let me fall apart as I watch you walk away.

You’re a collector of souls, hearts and minds. You charm people out of their interest, impress them out of their respect, trick them into needing you and nurture the love out of their chests. But the one thing you've never been able to steal, take, or thieve is the ability to reciprocate. And for that, I pity you.

"Those three words. I never realised how much I needed to hear them until right now. Until you decided I wasn't allowed them anymore. Until you decided that we didn't need them; that not having them around would somehow make us better people."

"I know you know that I know you don't care. I just need you to look me in the eyes once more and tell me you really don't, eventhough I'll hurt for the rest of this millenium, eventhough it'll steal my sanity away."

keaira said...

i've been searching, for that last note you gave me before you left; the one note that i had carelessly thrown away along with my heart.

Liz said...

They look at me and see shattered glass. But you saw crystals painting rays across white walls. Your eyes filled with wonder and you decided to keep me. I was not disposable. I was beautiful. You made me beautiful.

"And I could look deeply into those same hazel-grey eyes and see no resemblence.
But that's okay.
Because it's different now.
I don't love you.

And pigs fly."

Melanie Chan said...

They say that one man's trash is another's treasure.
But I've been searching with all my might, and all I can find is a ruined soul.

Yes, I'm losing hope.
Yet, I still love you.
Please, give me a sign. I know there's a part of you that still glitters.

Melanie Chan said...

And at the end of the day, when everyone's gone and the lights go dim, I'll still be here. I will always be here, until the day you force me to leave. Then I'll go. And eventually, everyone will forget about me. But this place won't.

(I loved you, you know.)

Love me or leave me; an independent soul remains.

슈퍼 레이치 said...

And I will erase all your songs in my playlist, remove all traces of you.

Because I must. Because it's better to leave first than be left alone.

But that doesn't mean I don't love you; Because I do, because I have, as much as I possibly could. And it will never be enough.

Goodbye.

There's only so much we can do to stop this. But when the world ends, I'll still be standing. And I hope that you'll be standing with me, too.

Nikk W. said...

I can't look at you right now.

But when I can, I won't be here.

And we collided and crashed, like two meteors floating through the dark- fighting it out with our words and our teeth until we reduced to nothing but the dust they frown at beneath their feet. You and I were just waiting on some sort of gravity to pull us home.

We broke each other's falls.
But, then again, we were each other's falls.

mm...Linda? said...

When they come to pick at our remnants, they'll find skeletons, they'll find trash. But the dust that is what's left of our hearts burned hot like a volcano. Our hearts were stars and young diamonds, but all they'll find is ash.

Credenza said...

I was swept away by you, your dreams and hopes and fears, everything that you could offer. But in the end you took my heart, my soul and dumped the rest behind in a whirl of loose papers and one-second apologies.

Anonymous said...

I want to sweep the floor clean of you
Burn every last remnant
So that the only remaining thought left in the world about you
Lies here with me.

Laura said...

We're all a little bit like the garbage man, each and every day. We throw things, and even people out. But one person's trash could be another person's treasure. And sweetheart, you're here to stay.

Samantha said...

Memories can't be thrown away. They are merely stored aside, waiting for me to find them again.

You can't be forgotten. You are merely missed, waiting for love to find you again.

catchingacolder said...

When you got here, I was surprised and then happy. And now I'm alone again.
Everything is going back the way it was, only worse because of everything you left.
And now I have to pick up the pieces.

Lady Gray said...

The grit under your feet is not the dust that lives on neglect. It's all the letters of my favorite words that you take with you each time you walk away.

rahul kanchan said...

its only about time , and when i find you...you will know that i have changed for good...

Anonymous said...

I'll whistle while I work. Because I get to go home to you and not worry about anything else.

Anonymous said...

Someday I will make bricks from the ashes and build a big gray castle somewhere.

Tramadol said...

I do what everyone else doesn't want to and that's how I have come to know the reasons behind your tears, your smiles and your laughter.

But that's also why you haven't seen me.

MadmansDaughter Everything is in place, everything on time, everything is where it should be because i wish you were mine.

ardentLESS I know it doesn't feel this way now but the ground will be there when you pick yourself up and walk away from all this.

zee1091 My secrets won't be revealed -- unless someone will dare to see them in a different perspective. I'll keep them locked in. When the time comes that it's already full -- I'll be able to tell you everything.

zee1091 This is what I always do. I pick up the pieces -- and eventually throw them.

ColorsOnThePage Sometimes, I find things that remind me of you. And I reminisce about all those memories we never got the chance to make.

ColorsOnThePage You and I are both the same kind of empty, the kind of empty that when you put our pieces together we make a whole.

ardentLESS separation cleans the slate. can we start over? it all looks brand new.

samengtweets I pick up the pieces you threw out, so that one day, we can make it whole again.

signorekai You're not anything anymore. For the sake of myself I must stop scavenging. After just this one more, I will.

kisa_chan: The Earth will forget me. And so will you. You will forget me and I will be lost.

MadmansDaughter In the stillness of my heart and in my solitude, i can feel the warmth of a presence.. and that presence is my own

thirte3n Unfortunately for you, I am ardently in love with you. Unfortunately for me, you don't feel the same way about me.

ColorsOnThePage When words seem unfounded and the romanticism of waiting all night for you loses appeal.When I feel like giving up,but wont.

rehabc 'At times, finding shards of glass is the same as a torn greeting card or a scratched letter full of 'Please Come Back'

kisa_chan The Earth will forget me. And so will you. You will forget me and I will be lost.

roydechavez I can't decide: whenever I'm with you, is the world spinning out madly around us, or is it just a humdrum case of vertigo?

dissinea You are more than a label to be tossed aside. You are more than dust. The heart of the world knows that you are luminous.

blueSKIES247 the ones you pass without a second glance are the ones who truly need it.

blueSKIES247 you clean up the world to hide the mess that is your life. But who is there to pick up -your- pieces?

outintheflowers you're the one i see on the street corner, fighting for your cause. and one day, i'll fight for mine too.

dissinea Now, the only thing to remember is the stillness that remains after everything else falls away. The real you resides there.

hayleyyyyyyyyyy The thing is, I don't think I want to wait for you. But it's a habit that I don't know how to break.

white_russian Picking up the pieces is the only thing I know because breaking me is the only thing you did.

white_russian I promise to clean up in the morning. Tonight, just let me fall apart as I watch you walk away.

ninja_sunshades Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Please pick up the pieces with me.

maddieness You insisted that perfection was a flaw. Still, there was never a need to be broken to be flawed.

Dylziee I will always love you, no matter what.

vivajuliana You disposed of me so easily. But I'll become something new. I'll be refined. And someone will want to keep me forever.

maddieness Someday you'll find the things you'd gotten rid off are treasures in someone else's chest. Someday you'll want them back.

maddieness This is just another bag of wasted words to you. But it's nothing new, I'll pick some more for you to throw away tomorrow.

nuria_sm At the end of the day, he is the one who will be there to pick up the pieces.

alviealvie I tried to pick up traces of your footprints, but it's just another never-ending tale.

white_russian So far I've put in 11,376 extra hours to clean up the mess you left behind. And yet I'm not even halfway done.

Chong Hwee Jane you fill me so full that i overflow but then you walk away. and i'm still waiting for you to come and help me breathe again.

Gillihoe I do what no one else wants to and that's how I know the reasons behind your tears & your smiles. And that's also why you don't see me.

nandrawr And I rummage through for the heart you dispose of recently. I'd wipe off the dust, make it all brand new. I would do it just for you.

kayaaa I'm tired of watching your back fade away while the sky turns to gray, but I guess I'll be okay because you'll be back ...

madhattie Your life is not wasted just because you're not in a relationship right now. You touch the lives of people every day.

fanplankton i know it's your job to clean up messes and i'm not going to stop you. but i am not a mess; i'm a person and you can't fix me.

madhattie That's my heart. Just because it's broken, it doesn't mean you can just sweep it aside.

And so you left... and the bottle empty again... and it's either going to be refilled or it's going to be dumped...

- Hanny Larasati Imania

And this I promise you: I will come back, transformed, as many times as you will throw me away.

- Alexandrea Roman

I'm not the glue for your broken pieces. You are.

- Alexandrea Roman

Sometimes, when I look closely, the dirt is still visible in between the tiny cracks. I remember when I used to rub it clean to no avail, but I have come to accept the fact that a part of you is meant to stay. Now, all I have to do is look away.

- Alexandrea Roman

You only needed me when you're being trashed. then you just walk away. that's okay, i'll be waiting for the next cleaning duty.

- Ahmad Zamakhsyari Sidiq

You walk past me every day yet you; pretend I'm not there, pretend I'm invisible, it's more convenient for you. You slip by once more and you; pretend you never knew, pretend that my heart isn't breaking in two, it's more convenient for you.

- Asheika Sood

When I was strong enough to love myself, I mopped up my soul with tears, emptied your garbage for the last time, and threw away the recycling bin.

- Carrie Kray

It isn't a pick-me-up you need. And I want to
be treasured, not trashed.

- Sam Shatz

Oh, did I just put you there? I'm definetely gonna regret it, but trust me... It's not a mistake.

- Hanny Larasati Imania

Just wait a sec. I still need the trash bin. I'm not finish sorting my memories yet.

- Hanny Larasati Imania

At the end of the day, he is the one who will be there to pick up the pieces.

- Nuria Sepulveda

There is no particular explanation for this; I was merely scanning for your presence. I'd do anything just to see you again.

- Michel Zhong

I hesitate, with this picture of you in my hand... Is it you, or is it the feeling for you I'm gonna dump...
