Pieces

You left pieces of your soul inside of me.

The words echoed within his mind as he stood staring out the kitchen window.
They seared his heart and he knew that that little slip of a woman was the key to his happiness.
He knew his soul had shattered when he stepped onto the path of darkness years ago.
That journey he took left scars on his soul, made him a dark and unkind person at times.
He knew she came at the right time.
She was his savior. His bright light to follow home.
But he blocked her with his ramblings that he was where he belonged.
He knew she had the shiny parts of his soul.
He knew she carried the best of him.

He wished he could walk up to her and ask to see them. To be redeemed with those parts of him that were true and good.

He wished he could look into those haunting green eyes.

He wished he could kiss those delicious lips.

He wished he could tell her he loved her.

He wished he would have made the right decision.
