Heart Parts

Sometimes
It’s easy to find
A place for a
Broken heart
I’ve got a few
Assorted and bruised
Pieces in an empty lot

But you’ve probably
Been around the block
To know you’ve
Got to hold
Whatever you got
And you’re feeling
How I’m feeling

Can you still smell
The smell
Of the leaves?
Do you still feel
The feel
Of the breeze

But you’ve probably
Been around the block
To know you’ve
Got to hold
Whatever you got
And you’re feeling
How I’m feeling
Ready or not

My heart
Is full of these
Parts
That I cannot give
Back to you (enough)
You can’t
Unwind
The tangle of
Time
I can’t trade
Any of them in
For something new
My heart
Is full of these
Parts
That I cannot give
Back to you

Can’t trade them in
For something new
Nothing you’re not
Already used to

But I’m
Leaving
In a day or two
And tonight
I’m kind of feeling
Like being
Used

In a city where
The corners spin
Every secret
Finds a friend
Tonight
How should we
Begin?
