Accepted

I don't want to say what lies here in my heart
Now that your gone
It seems the broken red pieces
Would simply fall apart

But it still holds together all tight in my chest
In a titanium locker
Filled with the dreams, songs and poems
Kept close to vest

They say that it gets easy as time passes bye
And you someday find another
Who refills your ticker with her soft handled words
or the gleam in her eye

But Lord I gave her over to the care of your hands
Understanding your will and
Knowing that although my castle is riven
It will not shift with the sands

I ask that you keep her with those you love most
Protected from weather
And the broken arrows sent flying
By the wicked at the post

I exceed to your wishes, your wants and your will
Though you must drag me
Away from the gates as she's leaving
Or I'd be standing there still
