Piece of My Heart

There are souls in this world,
Souls without love or heart--
Souls that have been forgotten
By those they have loved.

Forgotten memories are all they have--
Love is hard to find; pleasure easy,
It will last only a minute or two--
Forgotten love is all they have.

And forgotten souls we will become
Like that soul in the corner
Of that street, a lost soul,
Dying of hunger and heartbreak.

But I am gratified and satisfied--
For I had you and your love--
Knowing I will not be forgotten,
For you took a piece of my heart.
