Motto:
If you want my heart you can have it,
but first you must find it all.
For I have given away much of it,
and lost pieces big and small.

I have lost these pieces my heart...

... To art.
... To dance.
... To music, sung.
... To want and passion and there among.
... To things, I can't control.
... To all the heartbreaks that take such toll.

... All these pieces that fell through the cracks...
... All the ones I myself can't get back...


I have given these pieces my heart...

... To family old that died a-bed.
... To all my friends gone or dead.
... To my uncles that drowned beneath the water.
... To my grandpa their loving father.
... To my mother who insists on safeguarding my soul.
... To my father who loves my so.
... To my sisters and brothers.
... To many others.
... To friends that held me as I cried.
... To all the ones who stayed by my side.
... To the God above whom I adore.
... To the beautiful girl, I left my town for.

... To all of these, and more and more...

My heart does not reside within myself,
my heart belongs to every, all and else.
Yet if you find every piece,
my heart is yours to love and keep.
