In Pieces

You touch me with angel hands
that seem to glitter in pain
Hand marks written on my body
are all that remain

Shattered hope rains down on me
as your eyes turn away
I choose to be ignored
As you walk away

Mistreated love wanders off
in my valley of death
While lying down I look above and
see your face as I hold my breath

Now my suffering is distracted
by your beautiful smile
I'd give a thousand pieces of my soul
to see that last a while
